Our Shipping Process
Safe and Comfortable Travel
Your puppy’s safety and comfort during travel are our top priorities. We take several measures to ensure they arrive at their new home healthy and happy:
- Certified Pet Transport Services: We partner with reputable pet transport companies that specialize in the safe and humane transportation of animals. These services adhere to strict guidelines to ensure your puppy’s well-being throughout the journey.
- Climate-Controlled Environment: Puppies travel in climate-controlled vehicles or aircraft compartments, ensuring they remain comfortable and safe regardless of weather conditions.
- Appropriate Crates: Each puppy is transported in a crate that provides adequate space and ventilation. These crates are designed to offer security and comfort during the journey.
Preparation for Shipping
- Health Check: Before departure, each puppy undergoes a thorough health check by a licensed veterinarian. This ensures they are fit to travel and free of any health issues.
- Travel Documentation: We provide all necessary travel documentation, including health certificates and vaccination records, to comply with airline and state regulations.
- Feeding and Hydration: We ensure that each puppy is well-fed and hydrated prior to their journey. Instructions on feeding and care are provided to the transport service to maintain their well-being throughout the trip.
Shipping Options
We offer several shipping options to accommodate your needs and preferences:
Ground Transport
- Door-to-Door Service: Ground transport can provide a door-to-door service, delivering your puppy directly to your home. This option is ideal for shorter distances or when air travel is not feasible.
- Professional Care: Professional drivers and caregivers ensure that your puppy receives regular attention and care during longer journeys.
Air Transport
- Flight Arrangements: For longer distances, air transport is a quick and efficient option. We work with airlines known for their pet-friendly policies and reliability.

In-Person Pickup
- Pickup at Our Facility: For those who prefer to pick up their puppy in person, you are welcome to visit our facility. This allows you to meet your puppy and their environment before taking them home.
- Costs: This option has no additional shipping costs, but travel arrangements to our facility will be your responsibility.
