Sending a pup to America

Post by Amberquest »

Morning Folks

Has anyone got any experience of sending a pup to America? I've had an enquiry about sending a pup over, but haven't a clue where to start.

Cheers

It might be an idea to ask the buyer to source the details.

Hi Andrew

He's said he'll send a shipping crate over, however would like a price for a pup, vet fees and transportation to the airport. He's said that it cant be sent until its 13 weeks old and needs a vet passport. I can google all these things, just looking for experience of going through this and whether it's a lot of work.

Just looking, thomas cook allow pets under 6kg as excess baggage which you can take with you in the cabin for £15. It'd mean me flying out and back with it, but may be cheaper.

My experiences were good, though we always came over and brought the pup or pups back with us. When one compares shipping cost one way for a pup against a round way ticket it always made sense to get the passport out a plan a holiday. we tried to coincide with the UK trial season or Summer time game fairs or some such activity. Had good experiences at Heathrow, Crowley, and Manchester airports.
