Military PCS Pet Transportation from Virginia Beach
Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek–Fort Story and Naval Station Norfolk make Virginia Beach one of the highest-volume military relocation markets in the country. GoGoPets has transported pets for Navy, Army, and Air Force families PCSing to San Diego, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Oahu, and dozens of other duty stations. Flexible pickup windows accommodate last-minute orders.
Airline cargo restrictions hit military families particularly hard - many service members have large working-breed dogs (Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers) that face weight or breed restrictions on commercial flights. GoGoPets has no breed restrictions on ground transport, making it the default choice for many Hampton Roads military households.
