VIP Pet Transport Services
Located in Los Angeles • International Pet Shipping
SC Pet Transport is the best pet and live animal transportation company in Los Angeles. Organizing your pet’s travel itinerary can be complicated. There are time-sensitive deadlines, a list of tasks to complete, a travel kennel to purchase.
Pets have many options to consider when traveling and each step is demanding the whole way through – some aircraft are not equipped to accommodate live animals, breed restrictions, weather embargoes, strict kennel requirements, stringent document requirements. Many domestic airlines do not accept snub nose or “fighting” dog breeds. Please check to see if your pet breed is able to travel by air United, Lufthansa, Qantas, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific.
Airlines that fly to island destinations have a separate list of requirements that owners and pets must follow. Some airlines require that the person checking in the pet must have either a TSA security endorsement, USDA certificate, or IATA membership.
We can assist you with organizing any pet itinerary to accommodate any circumstance. We can assist pets with blood serology tests, import permits, and transportation in the destination country. We are minutes from LAX airport and down the street from the USDA Kansa Street office. Please visit the International pet and animal transport association web site IPATA.org for information and links to destination country pet transport related assistance.

Pandemic Pet Travel
The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted pet travel on a global scale. Many airlines and select government agencies have imposed pet travel restrictions and embargos as they adapt to accommodate the unprecedented number of pets attempting to travel. Before you begin to plan your pet’s travel plans, please check on your destination country’s post-pandemic import travel requirements.
Our Company
SC Pet Transport is registered with the USDA as a Class H Intermediate Animal Handler. We are proud members of IPATA and all of our team members have IATA Live Animal Regulations certificates. We cooperate with US Fish and Wildlife when CITES endangered species need to travel. We assist university research institutes when live animal specimens are transported. We also help pets travel.
Travel Services
We can offer flight reservations, bookings, organize ground transportation, plan veterinary and USDA appointments. It is important to research how the pandemic has affected pet travel to your destination country. All post-pandemic pet travel plans should include visiting the USDA, United Airlines, Lufthansa, Virgin Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Alaska Airlines to verify destination requirements.
Documents and Details
The paperwork generated when moving your pet is considerable. Each country has its own rules, import permit requirements, health certificate criteria, and customs clearance procedures. Our VIP pet transport at LAX will coordinate the document process to ensure accurate, timely completion. Keep in mind that veterinarian and government offices are likely to be operating at minimal capacity.
Moving Day Management
We monitor the entire journey to ensure everything runs smoothly. We provide you with tracking tools and updates from door to door. Should any unexpected issues occur or the flight is delayed, we are prepared. We check on the weather, destination holidays, and any airport facility delays. Imagine a pet lands on an obscure bank holiday that an entire city observes.
