Ground pet transportation from Cincinnati, Mason, West Chester and Northern Kentucky, on direct routes with a single driver from pickup to delivery.
Private ground transport starts at $450 for short local runs (a $150 dispatch fee plus a $300 flat rate inside 100 miles). Longer trips are priced per mile — $1.50 a mile from 101–300 miles, $1.30 from 301–700, and $1.10 beyond 700 — plus a crate handling charge based on your pet's size, an overnight allowance on multi-day routes, and a per-pet charge after the first pet. The ranges below come from the same calculator used on our quote page.

Ranges are planning estimates for one healthy pet with a standard crate. Additional pets, overnight routes, rush dates and hard-to-reach addresses change the figure. Military families receive a $300 PCS discount. Your exact price comes back after we review the route and pet details.
Wright-Patterson is an hour north — we often combine Dayton and Cincinnati pickups on the same run.
