My dog absolutely loved his time with Chris! Best experience!! Couldn’t have asked for a better way to transport our boy!
This team is a gem of a find. They are attentive, respectful, caring and more. I feel confident that my dog was in the care of a great pack when traveling from coast to coast.
Alpha Team is a fantastic way to have your dog or puppy transported from your home to their new home. The communication was too top notch as well as pics or videos and updates on how pet is traveling. Chris has a unique way to gain a scared pup or dogs trust. Have used alpha team many times and we feel better knowing they are handling the transport.
I have used this transporter on more than one occasion. I love them they are so good with the dogs, they keep you up to date on where they are and expected time of arrival. I look forward to using them in the future Thank you for everything you do to deliver and keep safe the babies.
They were great! They kept me updated the entire time and sent me pictures. My puppy arrived faster than expected which was awesome.
Please read my review on July 25 1st. Redford was rescued by a woman from a backyard breeder. He was in horrific shape and his intake records were terrible to read. The woman worked at a vet clinic and they did a magnificent job of taking care of him. He had severe ear infections , skin infections, he had fluid in his lungs, had worms,was severely underweight, etc. During the time the woman had him he was on multiple antibiotics, ear meds, daily bathes, you name it. After all her care and her wonderful vet, his ears were a thing of beauty, his skin looked awesome, he was just finishing up his antibiotics for his lung infection, he'd been dewormed multiple times. Because she lived in a condo, and Redford started barking all day, she had to give him up. I am so grateful she doesn't know what happened to him, she would be devastated. He came in rescue and thats when I got him.(Ive fostered with this rescue about 13 years.)He was already medically in a much better place. I finished antibiotics, gave ear meds.He was slowly and steadily gaining weight, no more worms, skin better, and at his latest visit, my vet said his lungs and chest were perfectly clear. He was not nuetered or housebroken so I started looking at options, but in my area, to nueter is close to 1000, which is a large cost to a rescue. Because I have multiple dogs of my own, it was difficult for Redford to housebreak as he was marking his territory. I made one of the very worst decisions of my life. I decided to move him to a different foster where he could be nuetered at a reasonable cost .I was hoping to get him back at the end of the summer and adopt him. I was already in love with him. Alphas response to my 1st review had not a single truth. This is backed up by multiple texts of different stories to different people. I was sent a copy of their first review, threatening me to remove my review. My lawyer was sad they didnt publish, it was a masterclass of dishonesty and slander,but proof of yet a different version of their story. The coordinator I was working with was not the board member in their response. If the board member had been dealing with me, she would have had his current medical records and would have seen his current progress and how well he was doing...I would have hoped if I was dealing with this member, she would have also been more concerned about transport as a dogue had just recently died in Alphas care and as she "was very much involved with his move" she would checked with me personally on Redfords health. I dont know why she would lie for them, but I do know she and the coordinator I was working with left the rescue immediately after Redfords death. Odd, Redfords death is supposedly my fault and I am still with the rescue, yet all parties trying to sweep it under the rug are gone. What it comes down to is Redfords health was great. My vet saw him last and said he would testify in court. There was nothing wrong with his breathing the day he was picked up, another lie. I specifically asked Chris to stop and check on him if his breathing became off, it can be a sign of distress, as obviously he should have known since another dogue had died so recently in his care, that he specifically said started breathing funny. Not sure what all the worming nonsense is. Redford had been dewormed multiple times and was fine, but my vet recommended giving him another run just to be sure. Just another show of ignorance by this company. Redford loved to run up and down the stairs, did it 20 times a day, you took that away from him. Redford loved marrow bones, hed spend hours with them, you took that away from him. Redford loved to roll in the grass, after all he had been through, watching him run out and roll was a joy, and you took that away from him. He loved life and you took it that away from him. You are dangerous, ignorant, and arrogant. Having a truck and crate doesn't make you competent transport and listening to you try to lie your way out of it just makes me more determined to let people know. You've lost your inside protection at the rescue. Did you know that had the president known more about the death of the 1st Dogue, she definitely would have requested a necropsy on Redford? The rescue has also requested a report several times about Redfords death which you refuse to send? There's pressure there, which version to put down that could be seen in court. My vet said hed write a testimonial about Redfords health and in his opinion, he overheated and suffocated from being in a kennel with little to no air flow, hes seen it dozens of times with incompetent transporters. I could post it here if its helpful. Redford suffocated alone in an airless crate and he would have been desperate for air and very noisy. There's no excuse and Ill fight for him, he was loved. I'd never wish this horror on another family or the inevitable lies that would follow.
Seriously amazing! Brought our old man home updates along the way! Happy and healthy delivery! & he was ahead of schedule ! Made our holidays so much better
I’ve used Alpha many times now and they are my family and they treat their customers very nicely and respect and they are a 10 star service that I recommend to anyone that needs a reliable and professional service.
Absolutely FANTASTIC to work with!!! Have used them several times to deliver my puppies and could not be happier!!! They give several video updates a day and are so easy to communicate with! They respond very quickly with quotes and PRICES are EXTREMELY reasonable!! 100% recommend!!! GREAT Transport company!!!
Excellent accommodations for the dogs, excellent compassion for them as well! Great communication and a pleasant experience! Thank you!
We are a German Shepherd Dog Rescue located in Los Angeles, CA. On average, we adopt 50 dogs nationally each year. Alpha Team Animal Transport has been our exclusive transportation provider for the last several years. We met Alpha Team after our previous transporter went missing with one of our dogs for over two weeks on what should have been a six-hour transport. Elysia does an amazing job managing our requests, advising us of timelines, and coordinating/communicating with our adopters. Chris is always on time for pick-up and delivery, often spending extra time with our adopters while they introduce the new dog to any existing pets. Together they make an amazing team! When Alpha Team commits, the job gets done without exception, excuses, or delay. Their prices are in line with the industry norm, and their level of customer service and compassion for our dogs is phenomenal. As a volunteer for our Rescue, I appreciate that a single call to Alpha Team and our dogs are well taken care of. No excuses, no worrying, just the comfort that our newly adopted dogs will be safely delivered home as agreed. I cannot give enough praise to Alpha Team Animal Transport
This company is the one to go with!! They were excellent with communication. Very prompt and kind. They made our pet transportation process problem free!! Highly recommend them for any pet transportation needs you have!!
Elysia and Chris were amazing! Our puppy was delivered before the original time, and they gave updates along the entire trip! Will definitely be using them again!
Loved the communication and how well mannered they spoke. Not once did I feel like I was bothering them or asking too many questions. They were always pleased to answer and had fast replies. So happy with my doggy!
The Alpha Team did a fantastic job transporting both of my dogs (large breed, one 2yo and one 5mo old) from AZ to PA. They provide videos with updates regularly and treated my dogs like their own. Plus their timing for pickup and delivery was exactly what they told us it would be. I highly recommend them!
Awesome experience with the Alpha Team. Great communication all the way, felt full confidence in them and love how they are a team to keep everything smooth. From FL to WA….about as far as you can go and dependable and on time. Thanks!
Chris and Elysia are amazing!! I have used their services twice and both times have nothing but positive feedback. Chris treats the pets like they are his own and it’s clear from how Goose (my dog) reacted when he picked him up for his second trip that he was given plenty of love and care! Elysia is incredible with communication. I woke up to a text and video everyday with an update and a location and a text before bed to keep me in the loop. I wouldn’t let Goose travel with anyone else and if I could give them more than 5 stars I would! Can’t recommend alpha team enough!
Chris and Elysia really cared about my dog and getting her here safely. I loved the way that I got a morning and an evening video showing Bailey with information about where they were in their journey for every stop. Any questions I had were answered promptly. Bailey arrived happy and relaxed. I would definitely contact the Alpha Team again in the future. Unexpected bonus:- Bailey really bonded with Ace - a travel dog companion - along the way.
Receiving Echo was amazing and sooo smooth, Elysia and Chris are VERY TRUSTWORTHY people, they were in contact with me the whole time, made it so easy for me, if you find yourself here, don’t look no further this is exactly where you want to be, 1000/10!
Great communication, texts and videos! Took excellent care of the pup with plenty of rests and potty breaks. As professional as it gets, would use again in a heartbeat!
