What we transport?

Primarily we transport DOGS, CATS & BIRDS but we can assist you with the transportation of almost every animal... We are affiliated with Horse and Exotic animal transporters who we have carefully vetted and can ensure the same love and attention from them as we pride ourselves on at Global Paws.

We are also experienced in the transportation of famous animals for television advertising... please see the stunning performances of some of the animals we have transported.

How we transport:

BY ROAD: all our pets are transported in spacious and reliable air conditioned vehicles.
