Shipping & Handling

We offer safe shipping via Northwest, Delta, and American Airlines, out of the Des Moines International Airport in Des Moines, Iowa.  

Many people are concerned about flying their puppy. This is something I wouldn't do if I felt it was harmful to the puppy.  They are placed in their pet carrier and are safe and sound until they reach their final destination.

The airlines place strict temperature controls on shipping a French Bulldog (snubbed nose dogs). In the winter, no shipping below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. In the summer, no shipping above 75 degrees Fahrenheit.  No Exceptions!!!  These temperatures are not only for departure, but also any connecting flights and the final destination flight.

We can book Northwest flights, however, we cannot book American flights, it is a walk-on only procedure.  We will go to the airport, stand in line, and get that pup on a flight, if possible.  All flights connect elsewhere and again, the temperatures must be in the safe zone, as stated above.

The price of shipping your puppy ranges from $325.00 to $425.00 depending on the size of the pet carrier needed to house your puppy.  Your puppy must be paid for in full, plus shipping before we will ship him/her to you. 

Shipping Fees include:

  • Pet Carrier
  • Vet Check
  • State Health Certificate
  • Puppy Packet (includes shot records, copy of guarantee, AKC registration, and sample of Royal Canine puppy food.)

If you would like to fly in and pick up your puppy, I will gladly meet you at the airport with your little darling.  There are no temperature restrictions if you decide to do this.

 
We also have Ground Transportation and Hand Delivery  available for those who would rather not let their puppy fly by themselves. Please email us for further information, pricing, and to make arrangements.
