Shipping Procedures
Shipping a puppy by itself to a new location always sounds cruel and embarrassing, but actually we think it is harder for us than the puppy(s). With my many years of shipping experience, we 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 lawsuit and customer dissatisfaction. Most importantly the puppies do not travel by themselves, they travel along with an agent also referred to as a *Puppy Nanny*, who carters for the puppies making sure they are offered food, clean water and other treats during the flight right up to the time the puppy is delivered to the destination.
The average flight is approximately 4 to 6 hours. We always ask about any delays or layovers and know the exact times and departures of the flights, so we know where the puppies are and we are able to give you the information as well.
The puppies will arrive the same day as it is sent–usually a few hours. We have a big fluffy bed of shredded newspapers in the crate for the puppy/puppies to nestle in as well as a blanket which has the mothers smell. We usually include a pig’s ear chew (they love them), and a toy or sock with my scent on it–to help the pup feel secure.
We consider shipping as an option and we make the shipping arrangements; this is because most often we find suitable homes for our puppies but they might not be located within a driving distance. I can guess what question you have in mind right now, ‘Flying a Puppy’! Is it safe? This question is often asked. We certainly wouldn’t consider it if it wasn’t.
“We asked this question to the agents of the shipping company on our first attempt to ship a puppy some couple of years back, and this was the answer we got “When we book a flight for a puppy it is only on safe and approved Airlines that have pet-safe programs that Follow USDA guidelines ” The puppy will have the same air as the pilot flying the plane & someone will be there to cater for him/her on board and off the plane until delivery is completed.
When we go to book a flight for our pets, we always call ahead and find the most direct flight available (much as if you were looking for a flight for yourself) Our puppies have always arrived safe and sound in their new homes, he even went further to say that “it is better and more comfortable to fly a puppy on a 2-6 hours flight than drive with that puppy for 4 hours or more”. And that we believe so much because we know they are professionals and will deliver the puppy safe.
