Shipping an About Time Cane Corso
Shipping
a puppy is a very simple process!
We make sure your new pup is crate trained and accustomed
to traveling (so the trip is nothing new and not stressful).
We call the airlines and make a flight reservation,
and arrange for required health certificate and crate.
We take puppy to airport and check in at required
time. A short time later you pick up your new puppy
at your airport.
We will ship our puppies & dogs, from Albuquerque
International Sunport Airport, to anywhere within
the US or Canada. We can ship overseas, but special
provisions have to be made, depending upon the destination.
We select the airline we ship on with the safety of
the puppies in mind, and the care they will receive
in route. We have never had a problem with the safety
of our puppies.
Your
new puppy will be shipped to you thru Continental's
"Pet Safe" program. The puppies are kept
in a climate-controlled and pressure-controlled pet
area of the plane - much like the passenger cabin
for humans. Continental has been absolutely wonderful
- in the years we have been shipping I have never
been anything but thrilled with their service and
care. (Unlike some other airlines who I won't name
here).
When
we ship with Continental "Pet Safe", we
book the puppy all the way thru to the final destination,
and confirm all plane changes in advance. We have
to be sure that the weather is ok, and that the pups
won't get too hot or cold. With Continental "Pet
Safe", we can insure the value of the puppy.
The shipping charge is usually approximately $225.
Your
total shipping expense will generally be around $300.
($225 freight, fuel taxes & insurance charges, plus $30 for shipping certificate,
and $45 for shipping kennel.) Kennel is a quality
crate (PetTaxi or similar) that your pup will be familiarized
with, and you can continue to use for crate training/bed
when your pup arrives.
For an older or larger puppy, the kennel and shipping
cost will increase slightly. If the puppy is older
than 12 weeks, there is an additional $20 charge for
a rabies vaccination - required to ship.
We provide: A written health guarantee, plenty of
bedding for the trip, food/water dishes, a chew toy
to keep your pup entertained while traveling, and
a high-calorie vitamin booster before the trip.
We
are frequently asked:
"Will
the airline fly pets into my closest airport?"
Since 9/11, most airlines
have downsized the airplanes flying into various areas
of the country. This has limited the number of cities
we can ship to, as only the larger planes are equipped
with the climate and pressure controlled pet area
of the plane. Continental ships into most large major
airports, but depending on where you live you may
have to drive to pick your new puppy up. When we make
your reservation we will work to ship to the major
airport nearest you for your convenience.
"I
was told shipping will be a bad/harmful/negative experience
for my puppy, is this true?"
When the proper care
is taken, shipping is not a stressful experience for
a pup. We do not simply stuff your pup in a crate,
dump it on a plane, and hope it arrives fine. Each
puppy is accustommed to being crated. The pup is first
taught that the crate is its "den", a safe
and comfortable place. Once accustomed to being crated,
the pups are taken on trips with us to become accustomed
to traveling. By the time we take them to the airport
for their trip out to you, it is nothing they haven't
experienced already, and is not stressful at all.
When I first purchased
a dog from out-of-state I was given the impression
that shipping was a cruel thing to do and a bad experience
for my pups. I decided to have them transported across
the states (FL to NM) by a horse hauler who carried
them in the cab of his truck. After three long days
of bouncing around in a crate in an unfamiliar situation
with strangers, I recieved two very tired, very stressed
pups. It took weeks for them to settle down and gain
back the weight they lost due to stress. The next
pup I purchased was shipped in, and a couple hours
after she was dropped off in FL, I picked her up at
the airport here. She was a bit unsure about her new
surroundings for about 5 minutes, then settled right
in!
