Dallas Service Area
Door-to-door ground pet transport across DFW — Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Arlington, Fort Worth. Texas summer heat protocol, JRB Fort Worth pickups, cross-country routes east and west on I-20 and I-30.
Dallas-Fort Worth is PAX's primary Texas hub for long-haul traffic. The metro sits at the intersection of I-20 (east-west), I-35 (north-south to Kansas City and Oklahoma City), and I-30 (east to Little Rock and the Southeast). That geographic advantage makes DFW our preferred interchange for multi-stop runs — we can pick up in Plano, drop in Fort Worth, and continue to Atlanta or Phoenix on the same route. Summer heat runs 95–102°F from June through August, with lower humidity than Houston but still demanding for flat-faced breeds.
The metro is spread across 9,000 square miles. Plano to Fort Worth is 40 miles; Frisco to Arlington is 35. We coordinate pickups across the Tollway, the Dallas North Tollway, and I-35E/W — familiar with both peak windows and known chokepoints (I-30 through downtown Dallas, I-635 through the LBJ corridor). For military PCS, Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth and Sheppard AFB (Wichita Falls, north corridor) are both active.
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.
DFW heat averages 96–102°F June through August. Brachy pickups go pre-dawn; long-haul departures leave before 5 AM to clear Texas before peak heat. Rest stops planned ahead.
Plano to Fort Worth is 40 miles. We know the Tollway, Dallas North Tollway, and I-35 peak windows. Multi-stop pickups across DFW in a single day are doable when routing lines up.
Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth and Sheppard AFB (Wichita Falls) are active PAX military pickups. Base-gate pickup with proper paperwork, and the rush fee can be waived case by case on PCS moves.
April–June we monitor severe weather daily. If a tornado watch is active we hold pickups; if a warning hits mid-trip, drivers have shelter-in-place protocols. We reschedule without penalty when weather forces a hold.
Door-to-door pickup and delivery across the metro. This isn't exhaustive — if your address is in the area, we can get there.
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. Those are ballparks for standard, healthy adult pets. Flat-faced breeds (Bulldogs, Pugs, Frenchies, Boxers) add $0.15 per mile (at least $75), and a medical care plan adds $150 or $250. Every quote is itemized and delivered personally.
Yes. Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth is a standard PAX pickup location — we know the visitor-gate procedures and arrive with driver's license, insurance, and vehicle paperwork ready. Sheppard AFB (Wichita Falls, 2 hours north) is also in our service area.
Yes, with modified protocol. Brachy pickups in DFW summer (June–August) shift to pre-dawn, climate-controlled cabin, rest stops planned ahead. Case-by-case quoting reflects the extra care. Mention the breed on the quote form.
Both, curbside. We meet flights for pets being handed off ground-to-ground or air-to-ground. Put the airport as the pickup or drop-off on the quote and we'll coordinate the meeting point.
