All about Shipping....the Royal way!
How does shipping a puppy work?
You pick two days and two major airports. I call the airlines and see which flights are available. I book your flight and forward the confirmation information to you. You go to the airport, show a photo ID and pick up your puppy.
Is it safe?
Yes. Puppies are shipped in a pressurized, temperature controlled environment on United airlines. Other airlines ship puppies but do not offer a temperature controlled environment so they will only ship if the temperature is between 40 and 85 degrees everywhere along the route. If the temperature is outside of that range, your puppy will be bumped and rescheduled for a different day/time. Although United Airlines is more expensive ($450 instead of $350), they do not have the temperature restrictions of other airlines because they keep your pet in a temperature controlled environment at all times. If you are concerned about shipping, a pet nanny can hand deliver your puppy to you....prices vary wildly depending on the time of year, seat availability, etc.
How much does it cost?
Typically $350 to $450 depending on the airline chosen.
What else should I know?
Generally, healthy puppies ages 8 weeks and older are allowed to fly. Occasionally, a puppy who is very tiny or whom I feel isn't ready to travel, may have to wait until he/she is older. It is at my sole discretion when a puppy may leave to his/her new home.
Making a reservation for a pet to fly is different than a human. Sometimes you have a choice in flights and sometimes you do not. Sometimes we are simply assigned a flight depending on which flights going to your specific destination is allowing pets. I do my best to accommodate your shipping time preferences but cannot guarantee a certain time, flight or airport will be available. Please note that if you check flights on an airline website, it will not be accurate for what is available for animal shipment. I work directly with the airline's pet travel desks to make flight arrangements.
Before being shipped, your puppy will receive all necessary vaccinations; will be checked by my vet and given an interstate health certificate which deems him/her healthy enough to fly. When you receive your new baby at the airport of your choice, your puppy will be clean, freshly groomed and be accompanied by a travel crate, food and supplies, registration papers, and written health guarantee. If you choose a puppy and want him/her shipped, you must print my health guarantee, sign and date it, and return it via mail or email before the puppy can be shipped. Shipping costs must be paid a minimum of 48 hours prior to the flight time.
