About Furry Paws

We created Furry Paws Transport with a simple goal in mind; to provide safe, easy, and reliable pet transportation services throughout the eastern seaboard area. Based in New York, Furry Paws Transport is dedicated to offering long-distance pet transportation from New York to Florida and all destinations in between. We understand how important your pets are to you because we are pet parents ourselves.

Keeping your pets safe, healthy, and happy throughout the transportation process is our top priority. Thus, we have spent countless hours researching and developing a pet transportation process designed with the welfare of your fur babies in mind.

Furry Paws is committed to providing only the highest-quality customer service for our clients, and we pride ourselves on our knowledge, hands-on personal care, and dedication to your pet’s safety. So you can rest assured that when your pet travels with Furry Paws Transport, they are in good hands.
