Our pets are delivered by people who care for them as much as you do. At GentleCompanions, we understand that traveling can be overwhelming for first-timers, whether they walk on two legs or four. Our dedicated team and travel partners prioritize the health and well-being of your puppy, kitten, cat, or horse, ensuring they arrive safely.
We Deliver Joy
All of our puppies, kittens, and horses travel in compliance with USDA guidelines for proper animal care, following GentleCompanions' time limits.
Simply put, each travel program is carefully designed to prioritize the health and well-being of your pet. If you prefer to pick up your new pet yourself, we are happy to offer guidance on the best way to do so.
GentleCompanions oversees various trusted, USDA-certified transportation programs
Our transportation programs ensure the health, comfort, quality, and communication from the breeder's doorstep to that first wet-nose or nuzzle moment, whether it's for your puppy, kitten, or horse.
Meet the breeder and your new companion—whether a puppy, kitten, or horse—at a location near the breeder’s facility. (Availability may vary.)
This program is $200, which includes:
An in-person meet-up with the breeder
A health certificate for your pet
Please remember to bring:
A travel carrier, leash, and collar (as applicable)
Food, water, and any recommended nutritional supplements

Weather, Heat, and Travel Information
We strive to bring your new companion—whether a puppy, kitten, or horse—home within 2-3 weeks. To ensure a safe journey, they must first meet age, weight, and health requirements before being approved for travel. Our Travel Team carefully selects the best transportation method based on multiple factors, including breeder and customer location, as well as the age and size of your pet. Once the best travel plan is determined, you will be the first to know.
