Puppies on Planes
Puppies on planes are as safe as you or I flying. I have shipped dogs for more than 40 years now. I always try to ship direct non stop when flying puppies and adults. In my experience and opinion, my puppies are very comfortable and the new owners tell me that their new puppy has arrived happy and not at all stressed.
Due Dilligence
All puppies are flown with ice water, bedding and food attached to their crate. NO drugs
Or tranquilizers are given as they are NOT needed. It is also dangerous to do so too. Shipping
varies from airline to airline.
Shipping requires certain paperwork including a Health Certificate and if flying outside of the
USA, an additional Health Certificate stamped by the USDA. Some countries require a rabies
vaccine given, and then 30 days must pass after the rabies vaccine until the USDA Health
Certificate can be made and then the shipping process can be started.

Costs
When shipping overseas an agent may be required to be hired making shipping very expensive.
These costs have increased greatly over the past years, and I would expect just shipping alone
to be more than $2000. This does not include the cost of your puppy or paperwork and
boarding to hold your puppy until he or she is 4 to 5 months of age. If you are contacting me
from another country outside of the US, please find out from your embassy or veterinarian
what is needed from the US to ship a puppy to your country. Each country has different
requirements.
