NYC's Brachycephalic Breed Crisis and Ground Transport

New York City has more French bulldogs, English bulldogs, pugs, and Boston terriers per capita than almost any other US city. These breeds are banned from cargo on every major airline due to respiratory risk in pressurized cargo holds. For NYC pet owners relocating to Miami, Los Angeles, Austin, or anywhere else, GoGoPets isn't an alternative to flying; it's the only option.

JFK and LaGuardia cargo operations impose extreme logistical burdens, advance booking, airport-specific carrier sizes, health certificates with narrow validity windows, and weather embargoes. GoGoPets eliminates all of that. A driver picks up from your Brooklyn brownstone or Upper West Side apartment and drives your pet directly to the destination, alone, with payment held in escrow until safe delivery.

NYC to the Carolinas and Georgia is the next most active corridor. Charlotte, Raleigh, and Atlanta are popular with former New Yorkers, and GoGoPets serves these routes at $700–$950. NYC to Washington DC is a short run at $550–$700, popular with federal employees relocating for government roles.
