Have your mom put some ice cubes in the crate this way if all the water is dumped out there is still something left to lick.

Good Luck.

Sorry but this is a bad idea as the airlines don't want them to eat or drink if the flight is under eight hours. if over, they will feed and water the pup. She needs to put a little baggie of food in the little compartment on top of the travel crate and write food on the little door. you cannot put it in the crate with them.

I had my female flown in and i suggest Continental as well because they have heated vans to tranfer to and from the planes, My little girl was 11 weeks old and 1 lb 8 ozs and she arrived just fine as long as it is not super cold i think the pup will be fine, make sure the breeder sends a blanket in the kennel and have nutrical when you pick the puppy up give the puppy some right away and take it home and feed. that way you avoid low blood sugar. Good luck and congrats let us know how it goes

Thank you all for your advice! I'll be sure to let everyone know how it turns out! I'll be praying

You could also ask if the breeder would put a heated disc in the crate for the trip.

MsFamousHepburn · 01-16-2008, 02:56 PM

Where would we find a heated disc? Are there any safety hazards associated with using one of those on a flight? My Mother-in-law will be the one shipping him, so I am try to make as easy on her as possible by getting all the information lined out.

I've been reading all the threads on here about shipping puppies as cargo, and now I think I'm more worried than I was to begin with! His flight will be a little over eight hours at best

. I'm going to have NutriCal in hand when we pick him up and also plan on having food for him in our SUV. I hope that it will be ok. I'm worried...

We just shipped our puppy Continental a couple of weeks ago and it was the first time we have ever shipped. I was worried sick!! They have temp controlled area that they keep them in at all times so you don't have to worry if it's too cold or hot. I could even track her online to see where she was at all times. Everything went great!! One thing they didn't tell us until we got there was that they only insure up to $1200. Good luck with your pup! Oh...one more thing we froze her water with a little kyro syrup in it to so she had something the whole time and it wouldn't all spill out.

I think my baby is coming continental, but I am very worried because they have to switch planes in Dallas

I am going to not think about it because it is making my stomach sick.
Please do not tell me any horror storys about plane switching at this point. I will just pray for God to watch over her.

The puppy I just shipped had a layover in Texas and everything went great!! I saw online when she got there and when she got on the other plane. They keep you updated great online and you can even check to see if the planes are delayed or anything else.

MsFamousHepburn · 01-20-2008, 11:16 PM

Wow! Continental sounds like they do an amazing job! Unfortunately, they do not ship from any of the areas near my in-laws...so Delta it is! I hope Delta is as good with pets as Continental! I'm glad to hear the switch went well, my puppy will have one in Atlanta. Mojo- I COMPLETELY relate! I'll keep your baby in my prayers!
Wrenee4-The water with Kyro syrup is a great idea! And I totally forgot that you can insure cargo! Thanks

Our baby Maltese was shipped to us from Seoul, South Korea, my girlfriend has a house there and was a present from her mom. He made home safely though he was a bit scared at first.

Wow, how long of a flight was that?

Boosted Panda · 01-21-2008, 10:23 AM

about 14 hours. Korean Air took amazing care of our baby.

MsFamousHepburn · 01-21-2008, 11:47 AM

Wow! That is awesome!

Wrenee4 · 01-22-2008, 03:31 PM

They will not allow the heated disks to be in the crates for Delta. I asked already!

Nothing, but a blanket or shredded paper is what they told me. That is why I drove 2 1/2 hours one way to ship my girl.
