Preparation for Pickup
Before the pickup date, ensure that your home is ready for the new arrival. Set up a designated space with a cozy bed, food and water dishes, and some toys for your puppy to explore.
Health and Safety Protocols
- To ensure a safe environment, we recommend that all family members wash their hands before interacting with the puppy. This helps create a hygienic space for your new furry friend.

Shipping
COVID-19 and puppy Transport
During these times, we want to assure you that transporting puppies is safe and effective, as they do not carry COVID-19. Your new puppy will be flown alongside passengers for added safety. Upon arrival at the airport, a dedicated delivery service will ensure your puppy is brought directly to your home, as we currently do not allow airport pickups to minimize health risks.
Delivery Process
Once your payment is confirmed, we offer next-day delivery. If you make your payment today, you can expect your puppy to arrive by tomorrow evening. We will provide you with a tracking number and all necessary shipping details, allowing you to monitor your puppies journey.
Shipping Details
Shipping your puppy is made easy and stress-free. They will travel in a climate-controlled cabin area designed specifically for pets, secured in an airline-approved carrier. Ahead of time, you will receive your puppies flight number, arrival time, and a unique reference number for identification. We can arrange for your puppy to be delivered directly to your home or allow for airport pickup, depending on your preference.
Our shipping process is designed to ensure your puppy is comfortable and safe. With over 11 years of experience, I prioritize direct, non-stop flights whenever possible, as this minimizes stress for the kittens. We consistently receive feedback from new owners that their puppies arrive happy and well-adjusted.
Safe and Comfortable Travel
We utilize airlines for transportation because it is the quickest and safest method, especially for long distances or interstate journeys. Each puppy is transported in a customized, airline-approved plastic pet kennel, which is tailored to their size and the journey’s duration. They travel in a specially pressurized and climate-controlled compartment, separate from passenger luggage, ensuring their comfort throughout the flight.
Our shipping crates are clearly labeled with “LIVE ANIMALS” and directional stickers. We include all pertinent information, such as the destination airport, confirmation number, and your contact details. To prepare the puppies for travel, we spend time playing with them in their crates before shipping, ensuring they feel comfortable. We also provide ample food and water, so they remain hydrated during transit.
Weather and Health Considerations
We constantly monitor weather conditions at both the departure and arrival locations to ensure safe travel. The health and safety of our puppies are our top priority; we will not ship if we believe weather conditions could pose a risk. Typically, we ship from Monday to Saturday, ensuring your puppies safe arrival.
While it may take a day or two for your new puppy to adjust to their new environment, most adapt quickly and feel at home right away.
Nanny Shipping Option
For an even more personalized experience, we offer a reliable Airline Nanny service. This option allows your puppy to be flown directly into your arms, ensuring they receive individual attention throughout the journey. This is the most caring and stress-free delivery method available.
Health Certification
A health certificate is mandatory for all pets traveling by air, ensuring they are fit for travel and free from any health issues. All airlines require this document to guarantee the safety and well-being of your new companion.
Arrival Instructions
Please ensure you are available at home or the airport at the scheduled time for pickup. Typically, your puppy will be available for pickup one hour after the flight lands, and you will need to present a valid ID, such as a driver’s license. We would love to hear that your puppy has arrived safely, so please reach out to us as soon as you can. Do not forget to schedule a veterinarian check-up within 48 hours of your kitten’s arrival. We will follow up with you 24 hours after delivery to ensure everything is perfect and to answer any questions you may have.
