Body Guard & Paws

Body Guard & Paws provides ground animal transport in Los Angeles, California, serving the broader Southern California region including nearby Long Beach. Led by Joseph Martinez, the team moves dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, giving them a range that spans household pets to full livestock.

Body Guard & Paws holds an active USDA APHIS Class T registration as a registered animal carrier, active through September 2026.

This mix of species makes the company a practical option for pet owners relocating animals, breeders coordinating transport between farms, and small operations needing livestock moved for herd management or sale. Their ground transport service is built to accommodate everything from a single dog crate to a trailer of sheep or goats, which suits ranchers, hobby farmers, and city-based pet families alike. For anyone in the Los Angeles area needing animals moved safely by road, Body Guard & Paws offers experience across a wide span of species and use cases.
