Having seen what I see, I wouldn't ship one personally, but that being said, I am sure there is no PERMANENT damage to the puppy, and nothing that a nice stable few days in the new loving home won't cure.
That being said, it is often hot in cargo holds, luggage shifts in flight and falls on some of the crates (which I am sure is very scary). The cargo hold is RIGHT by the engine, so coming off and getting on might be scary too.
I drove 6 hours to get mine and 6 hours back, though the lady was willing to ship her unaccompanied or accompanied in coach (which of course would cost more).
If you can avoid this at all, make a trip of it, and go get your baby. SPend the night if you need. |
I agree 110 % , I a ret flight Attn. I also would never send a puppy in cargo. Just drive if need b, I fly free and I'm driving almost 6 hrs to get a new furbaby this Wednesday. I have seen it all in 25 yrs.
Congrats on your new furbaby , keep us posted.
