We offer shipping as an option to ensure our puppies find loving homes, even when those homes are not within driving distance. You might be wondering, “Is flying a puppy safe?” The answer is yes! We take every precaution to ensure a smooth and stress-free journey for your new companion.
Before choosing a shipping company, we carefully research their reputation to ensure they follow USDA guidelines and maintain high safety standards. We only use pet-friendly airlines that provide safe and comfortable travel for animals. Your puppy will never be placed in cargo— instead, they will travel in the passenger section of the plane with a dedicated pet nanny who ensures they are well cared for throughout the flight.
While the idea of shipping a puppy alone might seem unsettling, rest assured that we have years of experience preparing our puppies for travel. Airlines take great care in handling pets, and we provide all necessary supplies for the journey. Each puppy is sent with food, feeding instructions, frozen water (which thaws gradually), and a cozy crate lined with soft bedding. We also include a chew toy or a familiar-scented sock to provide comfort during the trip.
Flights typically last 4 to 6 hours, and we carefully plan for minimal layovers or delays. We monitor your puppy’s travel itinerary closely and provide you with updates every step of the way. In most cases, your puppy will arrive the same day they are shipped, safe and sound, ready to meet their new family.
Studies have shown that flying a puppy on a short 2-6 hour flight is often safer and less stressful than a long road trip without climate control. With professional pet handlers managing the process, you can feel confident that your puppy will have a comfortable, safe, and smooth journey to their new home.
