Rates have gone up each of the last 5 years (or more) at 3% per year, for both UPS and FedEx. Their rates for all services are at parity, to the penny.
One thing that has been painful is the fuel surcharges. Those are calculated with the rate, but do add some, and they are adjusted each week. With gas at $4 a gallon, that surcharge can be pretty steep. UPS and FedEx are at parity on the fuel surcharge as well, so there is no way around it, unfortunately.
As always try and use the smallest box that you can safely pack your animal in, so that you aren't affected (much) by dimensional weight as well.
