Pet Travel Services
Dogmovers are a small family business based in South East QLD. We have several different levels of Interstate Pet Transport services running regularly throughout the Eastern States of Australia from Adelaide to Cairns. Our most common routes are covered weekly as part of our Express services with trips between the major cities generally being overnight services. More specialised or individually customised services run less regularly or on demand. See below for details regarding each service.
Express
Our express services are our regular Weekly or Fortnightly scheduled runs with set timetables similar to a bus service. These are Regular, Reliable and economical services which cover all the main towns and cities on the primary East Coast routes between Cairns and Adelaide. Pricing is based on having our clients meet us at central points in most towns and the cost of each trip is spread between many customers, with up to 20 pets on board to keep the cost down. We use a set regional pricing structure with discounts available to regular clients, breeders and Rescue Organisations. Your pets will be personally looked after by our friendly, professional drivers who will be with your pets the whole way, including overnight, as they sleep in their vans near the animals. Schedules allow for regular comfort stops, good quality food is provided and your pets will have water available at all times. Our vehicles and Floats include a range of Vans and Buses plus professionally designed Pet Transport floats to ensure your pets comfort. These services cater for all pets including small puppies and kittens, cats, poultry and other small animals right through to large dogs with a limited number of spaces for Extra Large dogs. You can view upcoming service dates on our Interstate run calendar.
These Services are suitable for all healthy, well socialised companion animals including Puppies & Kittens. For any pet that is less well socially adapted, displays separation anxiety, is advanced in age (over 8 years for large breeds, 10 years for smaller breeds), is obese or has chronic health conditions, including BOAS we would recommend you consider our Premium service instead.
Generally, if you are enquiring regarding transport for extra large dogs, Brachycephalic breed pets, senior animals or pets with specific health conditions we will seek further information and may recommend the Premium services outlined below.
Door to Door services are not standard on our express services but are available at an additional cost in the Major cities and may be available in other towns on demand. Where we are unable to provide this service ourselves we may have local Pet Taxi services that we work with which we can recommend.
Premium
Our Premium Services are more Specialty Door to Door services designed to cater for Senior Pets, Extra Large Breed Dogs, BOAS Affected Brachycephalic animals, Pets with chronic health conditions or special needs or simply for clients who would prefer a greater degree of attention or feedback during the trip. Our Premium Services can also cater to more remote locations not catered to regularly by our Express services. These services are more loosely scheduled but have greater flexibility. We utilise fully Air Conditioned Vehicles only with much smaller numbers of animals on board, typically 3 or 4 with a usual Maximum of 8 pets. This ensures our drivers can spend additional social or care time with each pet and provide a greater level of feedback including Pictures or videos to our clients where required. The cost of each trip is intended to be shared between several customers and the prices are calculated using a per km charge which increases for pets travelling to more remote areas. Common regions are likely to be serviced at least fortnightly with more remote regions being roughly monthly but these trips are ultimately scheduled based on demand. Due to the nature of these trips once your booking is in place slight variations may be made as additional bookings are confirmed but additional bookings are only accepted where they do fit in with existing clients needs.
Priority
Our Priority Service is a fully Individualized trip typically catering specifically to your own Pet Families needs whether you have 1 animal or 30. We can fully customise a trip to suit your own needs and time frame, typically direct from A to B as we will not be collecting or delivering other peoples’ pets along the way. This service can also cater to extreme or special needs, specific times and dates and can travel anywhere utilising any combination from our fleet of SUV’s, Vans, Floats and Pet Transport Buses. This is our most flexible option, costly for individual animals but can work out very economically if you have a larger number or variety of pets to relocate. The cost of each trip is calculated using a daily rate for the complete round trip.
