Shipping Facts
- Puppies can be shipped at 8 weeks of age.
- They are only shipped via Air.
- Puppies are not sedated for shipping, this can be very
dangerous to the puppy due to unknown side effects
medications can have on dogs just like humans. - Shipping is safe, but if you are too concerned, weigh
out the pros and cons of driving or traveling yourself
to meet your new puppy. - Animals must have an Airline approved travel kennel
- The travel kennel must have a food and water dish
- The pup must be seen by a licensed Veterinarian
within 10 days of travel for a USDA Travel Health
Certificate. - If the puppy is greater than 12 weeks, it must have a
rabies vaccination. - I use American Airlines, if unable to use this airline, I
will research alternative airlines that are in both
areas. - Shipping costs average $275.00
