If you are planning on shipping your puppy

 

Please read.....and follow the directions!!!

It is difficult enough for us to part with our 8-10 weeks old puppies without the added worry of shipping.To ensure their safety we would prefer you pick them up in person.

*

If this is not possible for you and your family, here are some of the conditions we will insist on:


Direct flights only and only if the flight provides a heated or air conditioned cargo hold. We refuse to ship dogs in the middle of July/August due to the possiblity of the air conditioning system failing. We will allow a puppy to be shipped only if it flying with you as carry on. We suggest you check with your air line of choice to see if this is allowed.
 

Air Canada Cargo has always serve us well so we recommend them to fly our puppies.

Cost of driving to the airport $50
6 Extra health certificates $100.00. (If flying out of Canada you might need a health certificate 32 hrs prior to departure). You must advise us if needed so we can schedule the veternian appointment.
7 We suggest flight insurance, our health guarantees do not cover the pups while been transported by a third party. And therefore we offer no refunds for any losses incured.


Air Canada Cargo requires us to be at the airport three to four hours prior to departure, so you must advise us of departure time and date at least a week ahead of schedule. If you are paying your flight by credit card you must provide Air Canada Cargo with your card number so that once the pup is weighed they can charge the fees without delay. We will not put it on our card. If your card is denied, the puppy will return home with us. If a second trip to the airport is required, a fee of $100.00 will be charged and must be paid in advance . You must provide us with phone numbers where you can be reached that day and you must make yourself available in case of delays.

 

 

Arrival: Be prepared!

Remember that numerous things can happen from flight delays, to the pup's having an upset tummy and/or having an accident in his crate. Be prepared have your cell phone fully charged, bring paper towels, plastic bags,wet wipes, and waterless soap incase you need to clean your puppy. You should have a nice soft blanket or towel to let your puppy rest on when you pick him / her up at the airport. Also a bottle of cool water would be greatly appreciated by your new bundle of joy.
