Shipping Information
We
are very experienced shippers. We have shipped our Puppies/Dogs all over the world, including the lower 48 states and
Alaska. We properly plan ahead choosing the most appropriate flight for the safety of the Puppy/Dogs. Shipping,
when done properly, is very safe. We have NEVER had any safety issues shipping our Puppies/Dogs. Passengers
can fly with puppy/dog and fly most days, including Sunday's as they are NOT utilizing Air Cargo. We
ONLY ship Monday - Friday. Saturday's are extra busy for us at the farm and we are not available to ship on Saturday's. Air
Cargo's are typically CLOSED on SUNDAY'S, so there is no one available to retrieve them off the plane or available
for picking up on Sunday's. PLEASE read the information below,
it explains in detail each option for shipping or flying with your puppy/dog. Keep
in mind, puppies must be a minimum of 8 weeks to ship or older for us to ship them OR 8wks or older for carry on, taken with client on their flight. Prior to shipping, they must get a health certificate
from a licenses veterinarian within 10 days of the date of flight. Puppies/Dogs
MUST be shipped in appropriate an airline safe crate with ample head clearance. Rates for
shipping are detailed below. PLEASE Note: CMF does NOT charge any
additional fees to ship, ONLY the actual costs of shipping the puppy/dog, which includes delivery to the airport, health exam/health certificate to fly, food and airline safe crate with
appropriate absorbent bedding. For adolecent puppies and/or adult
dogs, prices are more due to the weight of Puppy/Dog & crate size needed, so you can estimate below for
Crate size, Vet Exam for Health Certificate required to fly & Airline or Air Cargo
costs. We do NOT charge for delivery to SEA/TAC. Airfare & Air Cargo rates vary from
state to state, as it is based on Region to Region. Keep in mind, airlines
have specific cities they fly into, with specific types of planes, many do not fly into every city. By utilizing the
rate calculator or estimate links for the Airlines, you can see which cities they fly into and estimate the cost
for Puppy/Dog with total weight, including paperwork, food dishes, food and absorbent bedding. If you are unsure,
or have questions, feel free to ask us where you would like us to ship to and we
can point you in the right direction for a quote or we can do an estimate quote for you as well. Remember,
we must work with the airlines and their flight options available for animals flying. When passengers are flying
with their Puppy/Dog there are more options available than puppies/dogs flying alone. Also keep in mind, we MUST plan
ahead working around the Weather/Temperatures and Holidays, as airlines will restrict animals being shipped during these times.
