I come from the South, where we are taught to say yes ma'am and treat people like family. That sets us apart from a majority of the industry.

Customer Reviews
Misty is so awesome!! She was able to find the best possible route under my tight time line and was so pleasant. Handoff couldn’t have been easier at the curb. From what I understand, delivery was the same. Probably not the least expensive option but the efficiency and experience for pup/me/recipient was so much better than I thought possible.
- Alexis CPet Pro's Response:
Everything went smoothly, Alexis was very responsive and communicated very quickly and was prepared for the transport.
- Misty CollinsI highly recommend Paw Paws Express! After years of traveling between the U.S. and Europe, we ran into delays with our dogs’ health certificates despite working with an excellent veterinarian. We contacted Misty to avoid the stress of these uncertainties, and she was wonderful to work with...always responsive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She is truly reliable. Even with a FedEx delivery delay, we received all our travel documents two days before our departure. We’re so glad we trusted her. Thank you, Misty! - January 2026
- Estelle RAfter changing our moving plans from TX to England several times we decided to hire a professional to help us through the process. I joined a FB group for others also relocating their animals internationally. Misty commented on my post and offered a quote! The communication was excellent and Misty's knowledge of all UK guidelines was impressive. Within a couple weeks of talking with her we had everything planned, booked and ready to go! Misty's husband, Chris, transported our dog from DFW area to Chicago O'Hare by car and checked her into Cargo with British Airways. 'Pawpaws Express' did everything perfectly! Our dog landed safely and cleared customs within a few hours without any issues. Moving to another country is already incredibly stressful and difficult. Hire help! They did everything for us. Purchased our crate, bedding and water/food bowls, booked vet appointments, filled out our paperwork, hired a company on the UK side to clear our dog through customs. We are forever grateful to Misty and Chris for their help bringing our family together again.
- Chelsea WWe were running out of time to get our critters certified as no USDA vets would take us because we weren’t existing clients. The first transportation company couldn’t be bothered to read our emails properly. Someone recommended Misty at 'Pawpaws'. We are extremely grateful to her and her staff in helping us get our fur babies over the pond in such a short period of time. Thank you!
