Nevada Service Area
USDA-registered ground pet transport across Nevada. Las Vegas and Henderson in the south, Reno and Carson City in the north, the long stretches of desert in between. Nellis AFB, Creech AFB, and NAS Fallon are routine PAX dispatches — and our summer protocol is built specifically around Nevada's heat.
Nevada is two states stitched together. Las Vegas and Henderson in the south sit at low elevation in the Mojave, where summer highs run 105–115°F sustained from June through September. Reno and Carson City in the north sit at 4,500 feet on the eastern flank of the Sierra Nevada, where winters bring real snow and mountain-pass weather. The 450 miles of mostly empty desert between them — US-95 with very few services — defines what intrastate transport looks like here.
Summer heat is our limiting factor in southern Nevada. We don't pretend it isn't. On summer trips through Las Vegas, brachycephalic breeds (French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers) and pets with cardiac or respiratory conditions get overnight or pre-dawn departures, climate-controlled cabins and rest stops planned ahead; if a pet needs a vet, the driver goes to the nearest emergency vet and calls you on the way. The I-15 corridor between Vegas and Los Angeles, and the run east on I-15 through Mesquite and St. George, are core routes — both are hot in summer and we run them at the cadence the animal needs, not at a generic schedule.
Nevada's military presence is significant. Nellis AFB on Las Vegas's northeast side runs F-35 testing, the Red Flag exercises, and the Thunderbirds. Creech AFB at Indian Springs flies remotely-piloted aircraft. NAS Fallon east of Reno is the Navy's TOPGUN home — strike, fighter, and aerial combat training. PAX dispatches base-gate pickups at all three with proper paperwork. We schedule around your orders: date changes more than 72 hours before pickup are free when a driver is available, and the rush fee can be waived case by case.
Typical price ranges for routes we run most often. The low end is about what the quote comes to for one healthy adult pet; the high end leaves room for gas prices and your exact route. Every quote is itemized and personalized.
Ranges shown are for standard, healthy adult pets. Flat-faced breeds (Bulldogs, Pugs, Frenchies, Boxers, etc.) add $0.15 per mile (at least $75), a pet 8 or older adds one $150 senior care fee for the trip, and a medical care plan adds $150 or $250, each as its own line on your quote.
Dispatch timing varies by route and season — some pickups go out within a few days, others may take up to a week to line up a driver. Either way, we'll get you a driver for whatever move you need. Tell us your timeline on the quote form and we'll give you a realistic window.
Most Nevada trips land between $700 and $2,750 depending on distance — the route cards above show typical ranges for the corridors we run most, and one flat fee covers up to 4 pets from the same household. Every quote is itemized before you book — these are typical ranges, not final prices.
Moving a puppy to or from Nevada? Puppies under 9 months ride crated for safety, with a vaccination-aware pickup protocol and the same single driver door-to-door. Breeder-to-owner handoffs get paperwork walked through at both doors.

June–September in Las Vegas runs 105–115°F sustained. Brachy and medical-case trips get overnight or pre-dawn departures, climate-controlled cabins and rest stops planned ahead; if a pet needs a vet, the driver goes to the nearest emergency vet and calls you on the way. We don't run a Frenchie out of Vegas in 110°F midday and pretend the cabin AC will handle it.
Reno-Carson City sits at 4,500 feet with real winters. Mountain-pass weather on I-80 east toward Salt Lake and on the routes over the Sierra into California can close roads in storms. We monitor NDOT and NWS before any northern-Nevada winter dispatch.
US-95 between the two metros is mostly empty desert with limited services. We run it with extra fuel planning, rest stops planned ahead and a rest cadence matched to the animal; if a pet needs a vet, the driver goes to the nearest emergency vet and calls you on the way. It's not a route to wing.
All three Nevada installations are in our regular service area. Nellis (F-35 testing, Red Flag, Thunderbirds), Creech (RPA), and NAS Fallon (TOPGUN) all see PAX dispatches. We schedule around your orders: date changes more than 72 hours before pickup are free when a driver is available, and the rush fee can be waived case by case.
We pick up and deliver door-to-door throughout the state. These are just the metros where we run the most trips.

Pricing scales with distance, not with specific endpoints. For trips between 0 and 1,000 miles, the total typically runs $400 to $2,000. Between 1,000 and 2,000 miles, typically $2,000 to $3,600. Between 2,000 and 3,000 miles, typically $3,600 to $5,200. Flat-faced breed care adds $0.15 per mile (at least $75), and a medical care plan $150 or $250. Every quote is itemized — we review your trip and send you a personalized breakdown.
Yes — but the trip is built around the heat. Brachy and medical-case trips out of Las Vegas in summer run on overnight or pre-dawn departures, with climate-controlled cabins and rest stops planned ahead; if a pet needs a vet, the driver goes to the nearest emergency vet and calls you on the way. We won't push a Frenchie out at 110°F midday and hope the cabin AC handles it. Mention the breed and any health notes on the quote and we'll plan accordingly.
Yes to all three. Nellis (F-35 testing, Red Flag, Thunderbirds), Creech (remotely-piloted aircraft), and NAS Fallon (TOPGUN) are all in our regular dispatch area. We dispatch base-gate pickups with proper paperwork and schedule around your orders: date changes more than 72 hours before pickup are free when a driver is available, and the rush fee can be waived case by case.
Carefully. US-95 between the metros is 450 miles of mostly empty desert with limited services. We run it with extra fuel planning, rest stops planned ahead and a rest cadence matched to the animal; if a pet needs a vet, the driver goes to the nearest emergency vet and calls you on the way. Same-day Vegas-to-Reno is doable but tight in summer; an overnight stop at Tonopah or Hawthorne is a natural midpoint when slower cadence is right.
Yes. Reno and Carson City sit at 4,500 feet with real winters, and the routes over the Sierra into California can close in storms. We monitor NDOT and NWS before any northern-Nevada winter dispatch and flex without penalty when conditions force it.
