Pet transport demand in Phoenix
Phoenix is the dominant snowbird destination in the country. The mass seasonal arrivals from Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit, and across the Midwest — running October through April — represent the single largest predictable pet transport pattern in the US. The corresponding outbound migration in April and May is equally heavy. Year-round, Phoenix generates strong demand to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Tucson. The city's position on I-10 and I-17 makes it accessible from multiple directions, and driver coverage is dense. Luke Air Force Base adds a consistent PCS dimension. Summer months see lower inbound volume but strong outbound demand from residents moving north to escape the heat.
