Introduction

Transporting a pet from Boston (BOS) to Seattle (SEA) is a true cross-country adventure. Spanning over 3,000 miles, this route connects the historic East Coast with the lush Pacific Northwest.

Weather Considerations

This northern route can be tricky in winter due to snow and ice in the Midwest and Rockies. We monitor weather patterns closely to avoid delays. In summer, it is a beautiful and temperate drive, perfect for pets who overheat easily.

The Flight Nanny Advantage

Given the distance, a flight nanny is a popular choice for small pets. A direct flight is about 6 hours. Having a nanny ensures your pet gets water and comfort during the long flight, which isn't possible in cargo.

Preparing for the Long Haul

For ground transport, this trip typically takes 4-5 days. We ensure pets have comfortable bedding and plenty of toys. We also maintain a strict feeding schedule to keep their digestion regular despite the travel.

Conclusion

Whether by air or ground, we bridge the gap between the Atlantic and the Pacific, delivering your pet safely to the Emerald City.
