Our Team and Expertise

Every member of our team is committed to making your puppy’s journey smooth and stress-free. We understand that this is more than just a shipment; it’s the beginning of a lifelong bond.

 

How We Handle Shipping

Pre-Shipping Health and Safety

– Veterinary Examination:
Prior to departure, each puppy undergoes a comprehensive health exam performed by our licensed veterinarian. This includes a fecal test to ensure the puppy is free from worms and parasites, safeguarding your puppy’s health and the health of others.

– Travel Certification:
We arrange for a vet-issued health certificate, complying with airline requirements, to certify your puppy is fit for travel.

Transportation Logistics

– Airline Partnerships:
We ship via major airlines known for pet safety, all equipped with pressurized cabins, climate control, and specially designated compartments for pets.

– Specialized Pet Courier:
For added care, we often utilize well-trained animal couriers who handle your puppy with utmost professionalism and care, ensuring safety and comfort throughout transit.

– Booking and Scheduling:
Once your payment is confirmed, we promptly book the flight and email you a detailed itinerary, including flight times, tracking numbers, and pickup/drop-off instructions.

Day of Shipment

– Preparation:
On the shipping day, our team picks up your puppy from our breeding facility, prepares him/her for flight, and ensures all documentation is in order.

– Flight Monitoring:
You will receive real-time updates as your puppy’s journey progresses, including tracking information so you can stay connected until your puppy arrives at your doorstep.

– Delivery Options:
– Standard Shipping: To most major airports in the UK, US, Canada, or Mexico, including a travel crate, health certificate, and flight.
– Personal Hand Delivery: For added peace of mind, one of our team members can escort your puppy from the kennel to the airport and wait until you are reunited.

 

Shipping Details & Costs

– Standard Shipping Fee:
$300 per puppy, covering airfare, travel crate, vet health certificate, and handling.

– Additional Information:
– Puppies are typically shipped early in the morning and arrive the same day or the following morning.
– You will receive a tracking number to monitor your puppy’s flight.
– All puppies are shipped in airline-approved kennels with absorbent bedding, toys, and familiar scents to ensure comfort.

 

Important Post-Arrival Care

– Vaccinations:
Please do not administer any vaccines within the first 14 days after arrival. Our puppies are fully vaccinated before departure, and additional vaccines should be administered only after the puppy has settled and been examined by a licensed veterinarian within the first week.

– Health Check:
We strongly recommend a veterinary check-up within 7 days of arrival to ensure your puppy’s health and well-being. Our refund policy requires this verification.

 

Flying Your Puppy: Safety & Comfort

We prioritize your puppy’s safety during transit:

– Flight Route:
We select the shortest and safest routes, minimizing travel time to reduce stress.

– Travel Environment:
– Puppies travel in climate-controlled, temperature-regulated compartments.
– The crates are designed for comfort, with sufficient space for movement and rest.
– Each crate contains food, water, toys, and a blanket with sibling scents to ease anxiety.

– Travel Companion:
Your puppy will not fly alone. A member of our team accompanies him/her during the flight, providing reassurance and immediate care if needed.

 

Personal Hand Delivery – Extra Peace of Mind

For an even more secure experience, opt for **Personal Puppy Hand Delivery**. One of our professional agents will escort your puppy from the kennel to the airport, wait with the puppy during check-in, and ensure a smooth transition directly into your hands.

 

Delivery Timeline

– Typical Delivery:
Once your puppy reaches 8 weeks of age and all health documents are in order, we usually deliver within 2 days of purchase.

– Flight Booking:
We require approximately 2 hours to secure the best airfare, so patience is appreciated to ensure cost-effective and timely delivery.

– Arrival:
Your puppy arrives in a brand-new, airline-approved kennel, ready to start its new life with you.

 

Additional Considerations

– Kenneling Fees & Flight Cancellations:
Any additional kennel fees resulting from flight cancellations are the responsibility of the recipient.

Our team is dedicated to providing extraordinary customer service—from initial inquiry to your puppy’s safe arrival—keeping you informed and supported every step of the way.
