Are you planning to ship your pet or even a large animal like a horse through air cargo? If yes, you are in the right place to know about it.
Animals are not just cargo. They're living, breathing beings who deserve care, comfort, and safety every step of the way. That's where Amerijet air cargo services come into play.
Amerijet is an airline that offers reliable international pet shipping services in the U.S.A. Whether it's a family pet like a dog or a cat or a large animal like a horse, we have the right experience, trained staff, and proper equipment to make sure all the animals are treated with care throughout the journey.
In this article, you'll get to learn how we at Amerijet prioritize pet safety during shipping so you can feel confident and have peace of mind knowing your pet is in safe hands.

At Amerjit, we understand shipping a pet—whether it's a dog, cat, or any other- is a big responsibility. That's why we've put various important steps in place to make sure your pet remains safe and comfortable.
We follow the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Live Animal Regulations. These are global rules made to protect animals during air travel. They cover everything from the type of travel crate allowed to how the animal should be handled before, during, and after a flight. We stick to these rules to make sure every animal gets humane, safe, and appropriate treatment.
When handling live animals, not just anyone has the right experience to do the job. That's why Amerjit has experienced and trained animal handlers who know how to work with different types of pets and animals. Our staff members are skilled in things like knowing the signs of stress, moving animals gently, and keeping them calm throughout the shipping process. Their extra knowledge goes a long way in making sure animals stay safe and comfortable during their journey.
Like humans, animals also need space to feel safe and comfortable when travelling. We make sure every pet is placed in a travel cage or container that's of the right size, neat & clean, and fully approved for air transport. Also, all the containers must allow the animal to stand, sit, lie down, and turn around comfortably. It should also be properly ventilated, escape-proof, and strong enough to keep your pets safe throughout the journey.
For example, dogs and cats can travel in ventilated crates where they can stand, turn around, and lie down. And larger animals like birds or reptiles may need customized solutions.
At Amerijet, we make sure all the animals have the right setup for their size, species, and needs.
Do you have to ship a high-value animal like a show dog or racehorse? Don't worry—we put our extra care and attention into transporting animals that need special handling. We know that animals like these are not just valuable—they often have specific needs, routines, and sensitivities. That's why we offer a higher level of service to make sure they stay calm, safe, and healthy throughout their journey.

In addition to comfort, we also take security very seriously. Every animal we transport is protected by strict safety protocols such as:
