Shipping is available threw Delta airlines

  

The cost for shipping your puppy is a flat rate of $300.  I can ship to most airports threw Delta airlines.  Below is some of Delta's requirements and information on shipping.  This is for information only I will handle all the requirements and getting your pet to you. I ship your new friend with a towel and newspaper to keep them clean and a chew toy when they allow it.  I pack puppy food for a snack and Delta provides bottled water. You will want to offer you puppy some food and water in small amount when you get him or her.  After picking up your puppy take him for a walk then rest.

 

 

At Delta, we take the time and care to ensure every animal travels safely and comfortably with our Delta Pet First™ service. There are several different options available to get your pet to its final destination, including being brought into the cabin with you, checked as baggage, or being shipped.

Rest assured that your pet will be treated with the same comfort and care you have come to expect from us.

Government Regulations

Some states may require a health certificate for your pet. Your veterinarian, the U.S. Department of Agriculture at 800-545-8732, or the Department of Agriculture of the state you are traveling to may provide you with more information.

Exception: Two pets of the same type may be allowed in one kennel, for example two dogs or two cats. They must be small enough to fit in one kennel provided they are compatible and must be of the same species, size and each weigh less than 20 pounds; and they must meet the requirements of acceptance. They will be charged as one pet.

 

Delta Pet First is designed to address the special needs of all warm-blooded animals shipped without their owner. The following are some guidelines and benefits for our Delta Pet First customers:

 We provide safe and reliable year round transportation for your pet.

 Your pet will travel from origin to destination with the same priority as Delta DASH shipments. See Pet Shipping Rates for more information.

 All live animal shipments are required to be pre-booked prior to arrival at the origin facility.

 International Pet Shipments must be booked a minimum of 3 days in advance and a maximum of 30 days in advance U. S.-based Pet Shipments must be booked a minimum of 24 hours in advance and a maximum of 7 days in advance.

 We have climate-controlled Live Animal holding areas in our four hub cities: Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas and Salt Lake City.

 Upon arrival in the destination city, pets will be delivered to the Delta Cargo facility within 60 minutes.

 All shipments must be picked up at the destination city cargo facility based on the destination station's guidelines.

 Only warm-blooded mammals and birds considered to be personal pets or show/exhibition animals will be accepted.

 While the environment your pet travels in is climate-controlled and pressurized, air travel is likely to be a stressful experience. To ensure your pet's comfort and safety and your peace of mind, see weather, health and kennel Requirements & Restrictions for important information.

Summer Restrictions—May 15 through September 15

 Pets may be shipped as cargo. See below for year-round temperature restrictions including live birds and snub-nosed breeds.

 

Year-round Restrictions

Delta may ship as cargo during extreme weather if at any point during the animal's trip the temperature is forecast to be:

Below

Above

       10° Fahrenheit (-12°C)

       75° Fahrenheit (21.1°C) for for snub- or pug-nosed dogs and cats. See chart below.

       85° Fahrenheit (29.4°C) for all other breeds.

 

Exception:
Pets are accepted to/from Anchorage, Alaska when temperatures are forecast below 10° Fahrenheit.

Delta reserves the right to refuse live animals as checked baggage and as cargo if the animal's health is in question and/or if the health of the animal may be jeopardized by extreme conditions.

Additional Restrictions for Pug or Snub-nosed Dogs and Cats

Pug or snub-nosed dogs and cats are not hot-weather animals and therefore do not thrive in warm temperatures. As a precaution, Delta will not accept them as checked baggage or as air cargo if the temperature on any part of their trip exceeds 70 degrees F. I do early morning flights so the temperatures are cooler during these months.

 

Health Requirements

Health Certificate

A health certificate is required when shipping your pet as air cargo. While Delta does not require a health certificate for carried-on or checked pets, upon arrival, the certificate may be required by the state. For clarification, please call your veterinarian or see the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Veterinary Services.

The certificate must be issued by a licensed veterinarian within 10 days of transport. The certificate must contain:

 The shipper's name and address.

 Any tag numbers or tattoos assigned to the animal.

 The age of the animal being shipped (USDA regulations require animals be at least 8 weeks old and fully weaned before traveling).

 A statement that the animal is in good health.

 A list of administered inoculations, when applicable.

 The signature of the veterinarian.

 The date of the certificate.

 Signature of the veterinarian

 Date of the certificate

Live Animal Checklist/Confirmation of Feeding

When you check in your pet, you will be asked to complete a live animal checklist. When you sign this checklist, you are confirming that your pet has been offered food and water within four hours of check-in. On the checklist you must also give feeding and watering instructions for a 24-hour period. If in-transit feeding is necessary, you must provide food.

 

 

Kennel Requirements

To transport your pet as checked baggage or cargo, you must use a shipping kennel approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The kennel must have enough room for your pet to stand and sit erect without the head touching the top of the container and turn around and lie in a natural position. These kennels are available at most Delta Cargo locations, as well as many pet supply stores. You should check with the local cargo facility for availability of the size kennel you need in advance of the date of travel..

All kennels must be capable of loading upright in the aircraft bin as required by the Animal Welfare Act and the International Air Transport Association Live Animal Regulations.

Also, USDA rules state that the kennel must:

 Be constructed out of rigid plastic, wood, metal, or material of comparable strength with solid roofs. No cardboard kennels.

 Have wheels that can be removed or made inoperable [applies to wheeled kennels only]

 Have functional handles on the kennel's exterior to prevent tilting and any direct contact with the animals.

 Close securely, but not lock, allowing personnel to open it in case of emergency.

 Have labels with the words "Live Animal" in letters at least 1-inch tall on the crate's top and on at least one side.

 Have upright arrow labels indicating kennel's correct Delta Air Logistics can provide these labels.

 Contain some type of bedding, either shredded paper or towels, to absorb any "accidents."

 Contain two dishes (one for food and one for water) attached to the inside of the kennel door. They must be easily accessible to Delta agents without opening the kennel door.

 Display feeding instructions and food, if applicable. These instructions should be affixed to the top of the kennel, along with shipper and consignee information.
