Transporting dogs from San Diego to Des Moines, Iowa

A friend just emailed me that his daughter and her hubby are moving back to Iowa. They have two large breed dogs that need to move as well.

They were going to fly the dogs, but too hot. Does anyone know of transport services that are reliable?

If they can't figure anything else out, they will drive with the dogs.

Thanks.

Continental has a petcare program that is wonderful. They should check into that.

They have an air conditioned van that they put the animal into when there is a layover. I shipped a puppy to Boston from Mpls on August 12th and it's crate was dry and the puppy was just super fine when it arrived after it's 8 hours...there was a 3 hour layover the puppy was in the care of the petcare attendant. I will not hesitate to use Continental again.

Been using Continental for years and love them for just the reasons you stated.
