Muttmates Dog Transport Van
Mobile Dog Transport Van
Muttmates, a local dog daycare and boarding service, needed a safe, comfortable mobile dog transport van to shuttle dogs between their facility and customers’ homes. They asked American Trucks & Vans to make dogs true passengers — not cargo.
Client Challenge
The daycare needed a vehicle that could:
- Safely transport dogs of all sizes
- Provide airflow for a comfortable ride
- Allow easy cleaning between trips
- Use brand to impress clients
Our Solution
We designed a custom van interior focused on safety, comfort, durability, and easy maintenance, built for daily use.
Key Features
- Custom kennel system with large windows so dogs could see outside.
- Sealed flooring with a drainage system for easy cleaning.
- Climate control system (AC/ventilation) to keep the interior cool.
- Built-in fencing and dividers for safe, secure travel.
- Branded exterior wrap for visibility on the road.
Outcome
The new transport van gives Muttmates peace of mind knowing their dogs are safe, comfortable, and happy during every ride. Customers love the professional look, and the dogs ride like passengers instead of being confined like cargo.
“After volunteering in animal rescue for years and having many pets of my own, I knew i wanted to make my passion for animals my life. I was fortunate to get the opportunity to purchase Muttmates in 2013 and leave the corporate lifestyle behind. I’ve never looked back. Muttmates is my joy and I love each and every one of my clients dogs as if they were my own.”
