SHIPPING & DELIVERY

Is it really safe for the puppy?

I receive many inquiries on the process of shipping a puppy–individuals often wonder if it is safe and how it works.

Won’t he/she be scared? How long does it take?
Won’t it be difficult for the puppy having to be all alone in a crate for so long?

This is how I explain the shipping process to individuals to help them feel more at ease with the process of getting a puppy:
Shipping a Puppy Is Very safe: See Below Details
Shipping a puppy by itself to a new location always sounds cruel and embarrassing, but actually, I think it is harder for us than the puppy(s). With my many years of shipping experience, I know for a fact that all of the pups are well taken care of. So if you stop and think about it, the airlines are not going to mistreat the puppy(s) for fear of lawsuits and customer dissatisfaction. I tape puppy(s) food and feeding instructions to the top of the crate and put frozen water in the crate, so it will gradually thaw out for the puppy(s) and the puppies are offered food along the ride.
The puppy travels in a climate controlled cabin area for pets. He/she travels in a climate controlled cabin area for pets, in an airline approved carrier. Ahead of time you will have a flight #, arrival time, and a reference # that identifies your puppy. The pet delivery courier always has someone who takes care of t\pets while under their care.
The average flight is approximately 24 hours. I always ask about any delays or layovers and know the exact times and departures of the flights, so I know where the pup is and you can also find all this information using the tracking number you get after shipping.
The pup will arrive the next day since we use express shipping. I have a big fluffy bed of shredded newspapers in the crate for the puppy(s) to nestle in and usually a pig’s ear chew (they love them), and a toy or sock with my scent on it–to help the pup feel secure.

What about shipping in the winter –is it not too cold?

If you decide on a puppy, I will guarantee -as I have many years of experience that he/she will arrive safe and sound. Puppies can be shipped safely between 20 and 85 degrees AA rules. All puppies ride in the crew cabin of the plane where the temperature is kept at a comfortable 70 degrees, same as for the passengers on board, and they are the last on and first off the plane. Shipping during this time of year is completely safe and there is no problem so we need not be afraid about that. Just like a person getting on a flight to go meet their relatives and/or friends for the holidays, shipping a puppy is very similar-and probably even a little easier. The only thing different about this time of year is that the airlines can be strict on the minimum temperature at each location (which is really good for the puppy(s) even though the plane is always kept at 70 degrees. I believe it is mainly for their liability and protection.

Most pet delivery couriers use a temperature regulation crate called an electronic crate’s that’s why we can ship in winter or summer.
These types of crates are used anytime since they can regulate the temperature to the one best for the puppy(s) travel..
