There is the thought out there that portrays the airlines as a death trap for puppies where they go in and never come back. I want to tell you that I have never seen or heard an airline employee do anything that would be harmful to our puppies. From my experience the airline employees are usually very friendly and love our puppies! The airlines would not put an employee in their pet service departments if they were not going to be pet friendly. With the thousands of pets that fly every day across the country, the airlines can not afford bad publicity in the media or otherwise. We (the customers) would quit shipping our puppies on an airline that had staff that was unkind to our puppies. I have been helping my parents ship puppies for over 10 years and we have never lost a puppy. Of my own puppies, I have only had one instance where a puppy didn’t make a connecting flight and it had to wait in Houston, TX overnight in the airline’s fully staffed kennel. If this were to ever happen to your puppy, you can rest assured that they are in good hands. These airline kennels are staffed with veterinarians and other technicians who are fully trained to take care of dogs/puppies. I try very hard to get your puppy on a nonstop flight to minimize the amount of time our puppies have to be in the airline’s hands.

Our puppies are usually pretty trusting and flying does not stress them out too much. There is some stress but is not much different than if we were to go to someplace new and not know anyone or anything. We have our moments and so do our puppies.

To sum this all up: shipping our puppies is something that is a nonissue with me.  It is a safe method to get your puppy from our place to yours.
