THE COSTS FOR PUPPY TRANSPORTATION ARE AS FOLLOWS:
-
ROUND TRIP AIRLINE TICKET
-
PUPPY FLIGHT TICKET ONE WAY (RANGES FROM $95-$150 DEPENDING ON THE AIRLINE)
-
$500 TRANSPORT FEE
-
$25 AIRPORT PARKING FEE
All efforts are made to ensure a same-day round-trip flight. However, if the available flight times cannot accommodate that, a one-night hotel fee will be added to the list of fees.
All fees must be paid in full at the time the flight is booked. Transport fees are non-refundable, and airline refund policies are subject to individual airline regulations.
Puppies are flown with love and care! We provide a clean, sanitized, airline-approved carrier for transport. Each puppy also receives a blanket, chew toy, treats, water, and potty supplies. We research each airport in advance to locate dog-approved potty areas, ensuring the puppy can relieve itself during layovers.
At High Desert Goldens, we follow the Puppy Culture method, a highly beneficial training and socialization program. One important aspect of this is taking puppies on car rides to help them get comfortable with travel. If a puppy will be flying, we take additional steps by introducing them to car rides in their airline carrier to familiarize them with being confined and in motion. Some flying puppies even take a trip through the car wash to expose them to loud, unfamiliar sounds—helping prepare them for potential noises during flights!
While flying can be stressful for a puppy, we find that most puppies sleep through the majority of the flight and handle the experience very well.
