Which way is your pup being shipped? In the animal cargo area or above with the passengers? I had Rio shipped with the stewardess' and I took a harness and leash so he could go potty at the airport. It is a ways from my house. I am sure you probably aren't shipping a tiny but if you are I would take some nutrical to be safe if the puppy has been in transit long.Or regular corn syrup.
Other than that just your ID like everyone else said. How exciting for you!!
