Is Flying A Puppy Safe?
Is Flying a puppy safe? Does flying traumatize the puppy?
These are wonderful questions from concerned puppy owners! In our experience flying a puppy is safe, cost effective, and quick especially for those who live far away from our Utah location. Also, we have found the puppies are not traumatized at all.
Flying your puppy can be a great socializing tool to get your puppy used to flying if he or she ever has the opportunity to fly again this will be something more familiar and easier to adapt to. The more experiences the puppy can have while young the more well-rounded the puppy can be. We do work hard to make sure the puppy has a good experience and has been acclimated to the carrier he/she will be riding in.
Here are just a few of our many, happy, healthy dogs that have flown to their homes, including our own dogs. We have also been on the receiving end of puppy travel (Bentley, Reggie, & Sullivan) and what a blessed experience it was for us!
Here is a walk through how the flying processes works to help ease your mind.
1. First of all we use our own Flight Nanny Service
🐾 Puppy Flight Nanny Service Available 🐾
We are pleased to offer Puppy Flight Nanny Services for families who are unable to pick up their puppy in person.
A professional puppy nanny will personally accompany your puppy in the cabin of a commercial flight and deliver your puppy to the airport of your choice. Your puppy remains with the nanny throughout the journey, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and stress-free travel experience.
Flight Nanny Service Pricing
The total cost of our Puppy Flight Nanny Service consists of three parts:
Round-Trip Airfare – The cost of a round-trip airline ticket from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) to the airport nearest you.
Airline In-Cabin Pet Fee – A $150 fee charged by the airline for your puppy to travel in the cabin.
Puppy Nanny Fee – A $500 fee that covers the puppy nanny's time, care, transportation to and from the airport, and personalized delivery of your puppy.
The final cost will vary depending on airfare prices and your destination airport.
To help keep transportation costs reasonable, we generally retain the travel carrier after delivery for future puppy transports. If you would like to keep the carrier your puppy travels in, please let us know in advance. We will provide a new carrier for an additional $45.
