Details of Shipping
We use several major airlines for shipping. The process is safe, simple, and cost effective. As a former commercial airline pilot, I can personally attest to the safety issue. As pilots, we gave the pups as much consideration as the passengers.

The pup first obtains a health certificate from a vet. On the day of travel, he is placed in a well-ventilated airline transport kennel, and received by a special division of the airlines. He is placed on board just minutes prior to departure, and travels in a temperature controlled, pressurized area of the aircraft. (If he loses pressure, so do the passengers!) The pup usually sleeps for most of the flight. (We do not use sedatives. They are unnecessary and dangerous).

Remember – the pup never really knows that he is on an airplane, so he does not have a fear of flying. In fact, he can be in your arms in just a couple of hours. This is usually less traumatic than traveling by car. In all the years of shipping puppies, we have only had positive experiences.


Picking up your puppy

This is the most fun part. Just simply show up at the baggage claim area, and go to the Delta cargo counter. (Don’t worry - your pup won’t come flying down the belt with all the suitcases). Show them your I.D. and they will hand your pup to you. Many families use this as the surprise introduction to their children or spouses. Have a camera ready!

Other than water, there is nothing special you will need. When you get to a grassy area, let him out for a bathroom break. He won’t run off, and will stick right to your heels. Don’t bother with a collar or leash.

Once the bathroom break is over, you will find it more comfortable to travel with your new pup beside you on the seat. He will most likely go back to sleep by the warmth of your leg, and this is a great first bonding experience.

Details of cost
Shipping through the airlines is the best way to get your puppy safe and sound. The total cost of transporting your puppy is about $300.00.

Break down of what is included:

• Health Certificate. This saves you money, as it counts for a first vet visit. (In most cases, the first vet visit can run $100 to 150 dollars).
• Airline transport kennel. This can be used as a dog house for the first few months.
• First class airfare on the airline that services your region.
