How We Handle Shipping
We get so many inquiries on the process of shipping a puppy—individuals often wonder and ask if it is safe and how it works! Shipping inside the U.S.A. varies depending on location, and puppies arrive the same day at your nearest airport. International shipping costs vary on location.
If you live non-locally, there are two easy and convenient ways to receive your new doodle puppy: Standard Puppy Shipping or Personal Puppy Hand Delivery.
PetSafe Shipping
If you live in the US, Canada, or Mexico, we can ship your puppy to most major airports. This fee includes air flight, traveling crate, and vet-issued health certificate and is not refundable under any circumstances.
Flying Your Puppy
The most common concern we get is the safety of your puppy’s travel. We do everything in our power and know-how to create a safe and reassuring experience for both puppies and their owners. We book each flight carefully choosing the shortest possible route between our kennel and your puppy’s newest home. We keep flight time to a minimum of only a few hours.
In accordance with the airline’s guidelines, your puppy is required to have a vet-issued health certificate, which we obtain for you when you pay the shipping fee.
Every traveling crate is made to fit your puppy comfortably. Your doodle puppy will not have to slouch or be put in a funny position while it flies. We ensure that our puppies stay as relaxed as possible during their entire trip home. Good posture is key! And a good, soft towel placed on the bottom allows your puppy to stay cozy and cuddly. With food and water by its side, your puppy is sure to have a great flight home!

Picking Your Puppy Up from the Airport
1 day prior to the flight you will receive an email confirmation with all of the flight details. It will contain the exact location of where to pick up your puppy from the airport nearest you. Please be on time and have a valid license, along with the confirmation number provided to you in the email.
Here’s What to Bring:
- A clean, soft towel.
- Fragrance-free baby wipes.
- Paper towels.
- Fresh, clean water.
- Nutril-Cal (available at any pet store).
The first time you meet your puppy, give it some water and feed it some Nutri-Cal.
Make sure to call Micheal the moment you pick up your new puppy so we know all is well and your puppy made it successfully to the right arms!

Professional Nanny Service
This feature comes extra to air shipping. For added security and peace of mind, you can have one of the Micheal’s Doodle Trio Team Members join your furry little friend on the plane. Actually, the agent will escort your puppy from the kennel to the airport! And then wait with your puppy there until they find you!
