Shipping
Your puppy departs from the airport closest to us on American, United, Continental Airline’s Pet-Safe, to your nearest airport. He/she travels in a climate-controlled cabin area for pets. He/she travels in a climate-controlled cabin area for pets on an airline-approved carrier. Ahead of time, you will have a flight number, an arrival time, and a reference number that identifies your puppy. We make all the arrangements for you, and you pick up your puppy at the airport, just like picking up a person; you will need a reference or airline number. Shipping is totally safe & stress-free for the puppy. You will receive the puppy within 5–6 hours the same day after shipping, depending on your location. Puppies on planes are as safe as you or I flying. I have shipped dogs for more than 11 years now. I always try to ship direct, non-stop, when flying puppies and adults. In my experience and opinion, my puppies are very comfortable, and the new owners tell me that their new puppy has arrived happy and not at all stressed.
We ship our puppies using airlines because it is the fastest & safest way to transport our puppies from our place to yours especially if you live far away or in another state. Our puppies are shipped in an airline approved plastic pet kennel that we customize depending on the weight of the puppy, the distance or duration of the journey. They ride in a special climate controlled & pressurized compartment on the plane which is no difference from the cabin. They are not in the same compartment as the passenger luggage.
Our shipping crates are clearly marked with colorful “LIVE ANIMALS” and “UP” stickers. We mark the crates clearly with the destination airport, the confirmation number, the phone & address of the customer. When we know that a puppy is going to be shipped, we play with them in the crate prior to shipping so they are used to it. They have never shown fear of the crate. We put lots of food & plenty of water in the shipping crate. The water provide all the moisture the puppy need during delivery. One reason we do this is in case, in the unlikely event the puppy should get stuck at an airport overnight (because of connecting flight trouble), we don’t have to worry if they have enough to eat or drink. Although traveling is not that hard on them, we do not like to make them spend any more time than absolutely necessary in transit. For this reason we also look for the shortest route & always schedule direct flights if possible.
We check weather conditions at the receiving end and only ship when we consider it safe to do so. We put our puppies’ health above all other considerations and do not ship when we feel it could be dangerous to the puppies’ well-being. We usually ship Monday – Saturday. We guarantee safe & healthy arrival of your puppy. We WILL NOT SHIP if we feel that weather conditions are hazardous for the puppy. Your puppy may take few days to adjust once they get to their new homes, sometimes it takes them a day or two to settle in, but by far, the vast majority of people tell us they just step right out of the shipping crate & act right at home.
Nanny shipping
We can also deliver your new puppy DIRECTLY into your arms!! We have a reliable Airline Nanny that will fly with your puppy right to you. This is the safest, most reliable, and least stressful way for your new puppy to be delivered to you. A puppy Nanny takes the puppy on bored with them and they can give them the attention they need. We want the best possible care for your puppy!
Due Diligence
All puppies are provided with ice water, bedding, and food attached to their crate if needed. Shipping varies, but we prefer to use American, United, or Continental Airlines. They are wonderful with animals and have new planes with compartments made especially for kittens, puppies, birds, insects, etc.
Health Certificate
These are required for all pets traveling via air. This is to ensure all pets are not sharing anything more than a ride. All airlines require this certificate. YES, it is mandatory.
Please be ready at home or the airport at the given time. Usually, the puppy is available 1 hour after the flight’s arrival time, & a valid ID, such as a driver’s license, is needed for pick-up. We appreciate knowing that the puppy has arrived safely and is at home with you, so please call or email us as soon as you get the chance. Don’t forget to take your puppy to your veterinarian for a regular health check-up within 48 hours of arrival. A follow-up call is placed 24 hours after you have received your new puppy to ensure everything is perfect, to answer any questions you have, & to measure your satisfaction.
