FAQs
1. Is shipping a puppy really safe?
Absolutely. We understand that the idea of shipping a puppy can feel scary, especially if you’ve never done it before. But rest assured, our shipping process is designed with your puppy’s safety and comfort as the top priority. We only partner with licensed, professional pet transport companies who specialize in handling puppies. All travel is climate-controlled, monitored, and carefully supervised from departure to arrival. Puppies are handled gently, given regular comfort breaks, and transported in secure environments to ensure they stay calm and stress-free throughout the journey.
2. Will my puppy be scared or stressed during travel?
It’s normal for puppies to feel a little curious or cautious during their journey, but we take every possible step to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. Each puppy is provided with soft bedding, proper ventilation, and temperature control. Our transport partners are trained to monitor their behavior closely and provide care if they seem anxious. Because our puppies are raised in a loving, social environment from birth, they tend to handle travel very well.
3. How do I know my puppy will be healthy upon arrival?
Before any puppy leaves our home, they undergo a comprehensive veterinary check-up and are issued a Health Certificate from a licensed veterinarian. They’re also up-to-date on vaccinations and deworming. Additionally, our puppies travel in clean, sanitized environments to reduce the risk of illness. Upon arrival, you’ll receive a complete medical record detailing everything from vaccination dates to dietary needs.
4. What documents will come with my puppy?
When your puppy arrives, you’ll receive a full documentation package including:
A Health Certificate signed by a licensed veterinarian
A Vaccination and Deworming Record
A Feeding & Care Guide with recommendations for diet, exercise, and early training
A copy of our Health Guarantee for your records
These documents ensure you have everything you need to give your puppy the best start in their new home.
5. How will I track my puppy during the journey?
We believe communication is key. Once your puppy’s travel is scheduled, we’ll send you all the details including flight or delivery times, estimated arrival date, and contact information for the transport team. During transit, you’ll receive regular updates on your puppy’s progress, so you’re never left wondering where they are or how they’re doing.
6. Can I meet the transport team when my puppy arrives?
Yes. When your puppy is delivered, our transport partner will meet you at your chosen delivery address. They’ll hand over your puppy personally, review the documentation with you, and answer any last-minute questions you may have. This ensures a smooth and reassuring handover process.
7. How far in advance should I prepare for my puppy’s arrival?
We recommend preparing your home as soon as you finalize the adoption. This includes setting up a cozy sleeping area, purchasing high-quality puppy food, and gathering basic supplies like water bowls, a collar, a leash, and toys. We’ll send you a “New Puppy Welcome Guide” with all the essentials so you’re fully prepared before they arrive.
8. What if my puppy seems tired or shy after arrival?
Travel can be a big adventure for a young puppy, so it’s completely normal for them to be a little sleepy or cautious during their first day at home. Give them time to rest, explore, and adjust to their new environment at their own pace. Most puppies start showing their playful personalities within 24–48 hours.
9. What happens if there’s a delay in delivery?
Delays are rare, but if weather, logistics, or flight schedules cause one, we will inform you immediately and provide a new estimated arrival time. Your puppy’s safety will always come before speed, and we will ensure they remain well cared for until they reach you.
10. Why don’t you allow local pickups?
For the safety of our puppies and to maintain a controlled, stress-free environment, we do not offer local pickups. Limiting handling and contact before adoption reduces exposure to illnesses, stress, and environmental changes. Our carefully managed delivery process ensures that every puppy travels in a secure and consistent way, arriving to you healthy, happy, and ready for their new life.
