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 USAir
PDQ 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.
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.
