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.
