I need to ship out 2 pit bull pups to Cali, but now it may be too hot for them to fly according to the airlines. Wondering if anyone knows any ground couriers or any other way??? I know it sounds odd, but these pups are ready to go.

Thanks

Can I add a question to your post aswell?

It sounds terrible, but do people ship dogs from america to england? And is it really bad for them? I asked my partner and she didnt like the idea of it.

I think England has a quarantine period. You need to check that before you purchase a dog from the states.

To the OP have the owners come get the dog.

(as a side note...native Californians HATE when people refer to California as Cali...)

If its too hot to fly them, its time for somebody to take a road trip. I wouldn't let any of the "big boy" delievery companies transport a puppy or two; let alone some small time delievery company.

I like him a lot better than I like most people. To you he's a dog. TO me he's an adopted son who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly. I have no problem with any of these. <

I am in San Antonio, I don't think they would drive here.
Well, thanks anyways, I'll just wait until the weather changes.

And I didn't mean anything by the "Cali", just didnt feel like typing it all out.

There are several breeders in my area that will not ship air because of the way that they treat the animals. If you google animal movers/shipping several ground carriers will come up. You have to type in the shipping info - your address and the recipients address, etc. and they will give you a quote within 48 hours. Also, have you tried Continental? I have heard that they are the only airline with air-conditioned compartments to put animals - but it is around $350-$400 a dog. I am not sure, though.

Continental is $230, they didn't say anything to me about a/c compartments. American is $194, but both will not ship a puppy if the temp is over 85.

Thanks, I'll try googleing it,,,

Jackie, I have shipped dogs and pups all over the world. I have never had a problem. I am going to be sending a Champion dog to Sweden as soon as the alotted time has past to do the required titers for Rabies.

But in regard to your question, it use to be the airline could ship with a acclaimation statement regarding temps. This is because most airlines will load the crates on to a trolly(you know the thing that drives the luggage out to the plane) They can sit there up to a hour. With Continental there is no heat embargos, because they do not leave live animals sitting. When they are ready to close the cargo doors, the animals are loaded into an airconditioned van, driven directly to the plane, loaded and the cargo door is shut. The same with arrival.

If you choose to go the ground route. Try to contact professional dog handlers. They will usually transport a dog or pup for around $100 each. They have airconditioned trucks for transporting show dogs.
I have used American Airlines, Delta, Continental, United, Northwest, and Alaskan Air for transporting in the continetial USA. And use Lufthasa for international flights. All without incident

He's your friend,your partner,your defender your dog.You are his life,his love,his leader. He will be yours faithful and true to the last beat of his heart.You owe it to him to worthy of such devotion

i have got a dog during the summer i just had to travel late at night to get it. you just have to ship it on the right day and at the right temp. if you check with the airlines they should let you know if its the right temp or not for your dog to fly.
