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
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 kits 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 will arrive the same day as it is sent–usually a few hours. 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 kit feel secure.
The Flight & Airline Protocols
The average flight is approximately 4 to 6 hours. I always ask about any delays or layovers and know the exact times and departures of the flights, so I know where the Puppy is and am able to give you the information as well.
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 personally asked this question to the man of the shipping company on my first attempt: "When we book a flight for a Puppy it is only on safe and approved Airlines that have pet-safe programs that Follow 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, we don’t fly the Puppies in the cargo section of the plane, they are actually shipped in the passenger section together with pet nannies.
When we go to book a flight for our pets, we always call ahead and find the most direct flight available. Our Puppies have always arrived safe and sound.
