Unfortunately, our experience with Blue Collar Pet Transport was extremely disappointing. We hired the company to coordinate a flight nanny to safely transport our new puppy from Illinois to New Mexico, and what should have been an exciting, straightforward process became unnecessarily stressful. Communication was consistently poor. We struggled to get clear answers, confirm arrangements, and establish reliable communication regarding our puppy's transportation. At one point, a customer service representative informed us that the person handling our arrangements hadn't even entered all the necessary information into their system. For a company entrusted with transporting people's pets, I would expect a much higher level of professionalism, organization, and communication. We were making arrangements around a breeder's schedule, airline travel, and the care of a very young puppy. Having to repeatedly seek clarification and follow up on basic details was frustrating and concerning. Ultimately, we lost confidence in the arrangements and decided to fly to Illinois ourselves to bring our puppy home. Transporting a pet requires an enormous amount of trust. Unfortunately, our experience with Blue Collar Pet Transport did not inspire that trust. I would strongly encourage anyone considering their services to make sure every detail is confirmed and documented before relying on their transportation arrangements.

I have used this service multiple times to transport my cats across the country. They have proven to be extremely reliable and trustworthy. They even remembered my pets, as they had transported them the previous time. I don’t want to take my cats to hotels or bring them onto a plane, so this has turned out to be a solid choice. The office staff, especially Erica, have taken good care of me and the drivers have all been very attentive to my pets needs and safety. I have received photos of my pets daily. I wouldn’t choose any other service to transport my pets.

We moved from Maryland to Florida in July, and Blue Collar transported our three dogs. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience! Dutch was fantastic and kept us updated every step of the way. Knowing our dogs were in such good hands made the move much less stressful. We’d happily recommend Blue Collar to anyone needing pet transportation.

Trevor, thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️ It was our pleasure helping transport Dutch and the rest of your crew from Maryland to Florida. Moving is stressful enough, so knowing we could make the journey a little easier for you and your three dogs means a lot to our entire team. We truly appreciate you trusting Blue Collar Pet Transport with your family and taking the time to share your experience. Remember, pets are family, not cargo! 🐾💙 Safe travels and welcome to Florida!

Another reply… I would prefer not to keep going over this but i think it is very important for potential customers to understand that the “records” blue collar claims to have are not real. I have asked for any internal written correspondence surrounding our dog’s transport, to which i was told there was nothing. Only the group chat. Any sort of location information is harvested from screenshots of life360 app (which is not designed as a business grade transportation software— its for families to keep track of each other). In our case there were many redactions. None of the provided “timestamped records” were primary, the contractor route coordinator took a screenshots and built a timeline out of that. When i compiled that information and began asking questions where there were gaps, i was asked “what are we even in search of here?” We were promised photos and videos 4/day. We got about once a day. When our dog died in their care and we started asking questions, more videos were provided after the fact, we were also provided videos of other animals. Based on the communication from the vet and pathologist, it is their assessment that our dog was dead 6-12 hours before being brought in. Blue collar can disagree with that, but i am trusting the opinions of unbiased professionals, not a company with no expertise as veterinarians or veterinarian pathologists, and have a stake in the outcome. On the necropsy, it is very important to note that the cause of death was not determinable and that the body was too decomposed to gain any meaningful insights about the cause of death. Again, blue collar is not a veterinarian pathologist, i will trust the written interpretation of the 2nd pathologist brought in to review the necropsy over a company that has a stake in its outcome. My experience is not the experience most people will have. In general, this company over promised and under delivered across the board (poor communication, did not provide updates as promised — though there were some updates, just not at all what was promised, zero records around care— food, water, driver sleeping, ect). All i want to do is make potential customers aware that if something goes wrong, this company is not equipped to handle the response or provide meaningful documentation you would expect from professionals. The thing that makes this more concerning is if you look into it(go ahead and search reviews and google) there are other incidents with the exact same fact pattern involving blue collar (animal in care for 48 hours, dies, in full rigor when brought to vet) While this has been difficult, i have tried to stick to facts. I am more than willing to share any documentation to any potential customer. Because its a groupme chat most of what i can show you is screenshots of all communication, but i also have communications from the kennel my dog was at when blue collar took over care, communication with the vet who saw radar (in full rigor), all documentation from vet and pathologist, necropsy, review of necropsy by 2nd pathologist, texts from actual blue collar employees about this experience (most of my communication with the company after radar died was with a contractor route coordinator— the one who was responsible for the route radar was on when he passed). Please consider other options.

We understand the customer remains dissatisfied, and we respect their right to share their experience. However, we disagree with several characterizations in this response. The records referenced by Blue Collar Pet Transport include communications, location information, photos/videos, and information gathered during the review of the transport. We have never represented ourselves as veterinary professionals, nor have we attempted to substitute our interpretation for that of a veterinarian. Most importantly, the necropsy did not establish a definitive cause of death. We recognize the seriousness of the customer’s concerns regarding the condition and timing of their pet’s passing, but we do not believe it would be appropriate for either party to present conclusions beyond what the available veterinary evidence can definitively establish. We have reviewed this matter extensively and provided the information available to us. We remain deeply sorry that this transport ended with the loss of Radar. Given the extensive discussion that has already occurred, we believe our respective positions are clear and do not intend to continue debating the matter publicly.

The couple that transported my puppy was great. They sent me constant updates with videos. They were very polite when they dropped him off. I would highly recommend using their service for safe transport of pets.

Dog arrived dehydrated and limping. was told that he was taken off leach to run in a dog park and fell into a hole. When contacted company about this situation, and possible vet visit, I was asked to send a video of his limp so that could set that I was not LYING. I told them my internet was not working and ask to call the driver. Which i am sure was never done. Thankfully, after 2 days dog is fine. I would not recommend this company for the safety of your dog. Also, the unprofessionalism of the company staff.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We are glad to hear that your dog recovered and was doing well within two days of arrival. We do want to clarify a few points. When we requested a video of the reported limp, it was not because we believed you were lying. When a customer reports a possible injury after transport, requesting a photo or video helps us document the concern, assess what is being reported, and determine the appropriate next steps. We apologize if that request was communicated in a way that made you feel otherwise. We also take concerns regarding dehydration seriously. Pets are provided access to water and routine care throughout transport, and our team reviews concerns raised regarding an animal’s condition. Regarding the reported incident during the dog’s break, we agree that any such occurrence should be properly communicated and documented. We continuously review situations like this with our transport teams to reinforce appropriate handling and safety procedures. We are sorry that our communication left you with a negative impression of our company. While we respectfully disagree with the suggestion that your dog’s safety was disregarded, we appreciate the feedback and are pleased that your dog made a full recovery.

: Incredible care for my 13 cats! A wonderful family-run operation."I cannot thank Blue Collar Pet Transport enough for helping me move my 13 cats from California to Iowa! Moving this many pets is incredibly stressful, but this team made the entire process seamless a fantastic family operation. Kenneth, the owner, runs a tight ship, and his son Lunden, the operations manager, was hands-on and incredibly helpful. Lunden and his brother truly went above and beyond. One of them showed up right at my house for pickup to help me collect and secure all 13 cats, which was a massive help. They drove straight through for 36 hours and were just as supportive when they arrived at my new home in Iowa.I was so impressed by the care they took. They never crowded the cats, comfortably placing only two or three together in the larger crates. The communication was outstanding—they sent me updates and pictures every 3 to 4 hours. Seeing photos of my cats safe and happy on the road gave me absolute peace of mind. They arrived safe, healthy, and right on time. If you need to transport your beloved pets, especially a large group, I highly recommend Kenneth, Lunden, and the rest of the team!
