Pet Shipping Costs: A Comprehensive Guide

Part 1: Basic Knowledge of Pet Transportation

1. Time Sensitivity: While general goods do not have strict time requirements, pet transportation must emphasize "timely arrival to avoid any accidents."

2. Complicated Procedures: For the transportation of live animals (excluding by car), regardless of the mode of transportation, the "Animal Health and Immune Certificate," "Quarantine Certificate," and "Transportation Vehicle Disinfection Certificate" are almost always required.

3. Requirements for Cages: Consideration must be given to the circulation of food, drinking water, and air, and proper waste disposal to prevent contamination of other luggage.

4. Placement Differences: Pay attention to air circulation, and avoid excessive temperature and humidity. Items should not be placed on the cage, but if necessary, avoid polluting the luggage of lower passengers.

5. Careful Loading and Unloading: "Gentle handling" is essential for loading and unloading small animals.

6. Professionalism of the Transportation Company: A professional pet transportation company should consider more comprehensive issues, have more convenient processes, and be more peopleoriented.

Given the uniqueness and complexity of pet transportation requirements and specific content, if you plan to transport a pet, be sure to carefully consider the specific details to enhance the safety and accuracy of pet transportation. If necessary, you can also entrust a professional pet transportation company to solve the corresponding pet transportation issues for you.

Part 2: Costs of Dog Boarding

Due to different pet boarding methods, such as train and air transportation, there are differences in the costs of pet boarding. Prices are determined by the location of boarding, and the minimum boarding price varies by location. Generally, the minimum air pet boarding price is around 220 yuan.

Pets cannot travel with their owners on trains and must be transported by shipping. For information on shipping methods and prices, consult China Railway Express. Pet boarding also requires the preparation of a quarantine certificate before placing the pet in a cage. The pet transportation fees charged by railway companies also vary, depending on the shipping location.

Since the destination of pet transportation is different from specific shipping methods, if you want to transport a pet, it is recommended to complete the corresponding pet transportation procedures and, to better understand the pet transportation prices, contact the railway department or the special air pet transportation department for detailed price information.
