Shipping

 

  We can ship to most anywhere.  All U.S. bound flights depart Seattle/Tacoma international airport.  Destinations in Canada are more economically served departing Victoria B.C.   As a general rule we can get a young pup anywhere in North America for $350 to $450 hundred dollars total; including, crate, vet visit, health cert, and travel expenses.   The best deal is two pups in one crate which generally will only add another $50 to $100 dollars to the cost, but must be done while pups are still under 20lbs.  

Larger pups and adults will cost more to ship.

 Alaska air cargo 1- 800- 225- 2752

Is my favorite, usually the most cost effective for smaller pups, and will ship C.O.D. to most locations.  They base their rates on a combination of weight, crate size, and destination.  And I’ve found them not to be as rigid as some regarding crate size.  You’ll need to pay 200$ up front for a crate, vet visit/health cert, travel expenses.  The actual Air cargo can be COD on alaska and can be as little as 168 dollars Seattle to Miami

Continental air cargo 1- 800- 421-2456

Is also good, particularly for larger pups as they have a simplified rate system that provides a flat fee for pup/crate combo based entirely on weight.  Under 50 lbs, between 50lbs and 70lbs and between 70lbs and 100lbs. etc, regardless of crate size. Which works out to be hard to beat once they reach a certain size. Continental is also the only carrier who will not put a freeze on shipping puppies regardless of temperature; they have their act together enough not to leave pups on the tarmac.  But they don’t ship C.O.D. which means you’ll have to pay up front $200 plus Air cargo.

Delta 1-800-352-2746  

American Airlines 1-800-227-4622

May serve some locations not served by my first choices.

But all the major airlines and their respective Air Cargo affiliates do business in Seattle. 

 It’s also worth mentioning that I love and excuse to travel, I get around.  So the possibility of making a deal exists in direct proportion to your locations appeal.  Those inexperienced in dog transport should know that animals traveling as pets are usually much less expensive than those traveling as “cargo”  i.e. without a human, especially if you get a pup young enough to go in cabin in a soft sided carry on bag.   Something to consider in deciding whether or not to simply fly out yourself and visit…It can actually be cheaper, it mitigates the trust factor, and I prefer it — shipping is a headache.
