Ship a dog from 🇮🇹 Italy to 🇺🇸 the USA

What you get on the Italy → the USA route

• Verified introductions only. Every courier has paid the $9 verification fee and accepted the carriage-liability click-wrap.
• Pay your courier directly. Armstrong never escrows international funds — quote, contract, and payment all happen between you and the courier off-platform.
• Trip update timeline. Once the trip is underway, you receive lagged-GPS milestones + EXIF-stripped photos via a token-gated page (no risk to courier safety).
• $9 verified intro fee. Filters tire-kickers; captures your email for dispute mediation if anything goes wrong.
• Trust-ladder ranking. Couriers with more buyer-confirmed deliveries rank higher in directory results — the platform self-cleans.

Importing into the USA — what to expect

U.S. CDC rules apply to all dog imports. Your courier should be familiar with current health certificate, microchip, and rabies-titer requirements for dogs originating from Italy.

Armstrong does not provide customs or veterinary advice — we are the introduction service. Confirm requirements directly with your courier and with the CDC import guidance before booking.

How the introduction works

1. Click “Browse couriers on this route” above — you’ll see verified pros filtered to Italy → the USA.
2. Pick a courier whose profile fits your dog and trip dates.
3. Send a Verified Inquiry ($9 one-time intro fee) — Armstrong routes your message via email relay.
4. The courier replies directly to your email with a quote and timeline.
5. You settle terms, payment, and pickup with the courier directly — off-platform.
