We offer shipping via Continental Airlines for families that cannot come to our home to pick up their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy.
We always prefer for our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies to be picked up in person and welcome the opportunity to show you our home and let you meet all of our sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
If you live out of state and flying is the best option we recommend you fly round trip and let your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy fly home with you in a carry-on soft sided crate that will slide under the seat in front of you on the airline. Sometimes you can get a round trip flight that is around the same price as shipping the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy one-way on its own. I recommend purchasing a "Sturdi" bag to carry your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy on the airline with you. You can read more about these bags at www.sturdiproducts.com. Please check with your airline about details for this method of travel to see if it is an economical option for your location.
If the above option is not possible, let us provide information on shipping your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy to you. It is normal to have concerns about putting precious cargo on an airplane, but we do everything we can to help you feel comfortable with this arrangement. We prefer to use Continental Airlines since they are the leading Airlines for pet travel. You can read more information about shipping puppies at www.continental.com. Before a puppy is eligible for shipment on Continental Airlines it must pass the "Live Warm-Blooded Animal Acceptance Checklist". Continental Airlines is the only Airlines that flies all their live warm-blooded animals in a temperature controlled area during shipment so keeping track of outside temperatures is not required with Continental Airlines.
Cruisin Cavalier puppies are only allowed to fly once they have reached 10 weeks of age. Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies travel in an airline-approved crate with adequate layers of material for absorbency. A small package of food is attached to the crate along with a food/water schedule for the airline. Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies will be fully health certified by our vet before shipping with a cleared health certificate.
The cost for shipping a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy is $275 (not included in the cost of the puppy unless otherwise stated in the adoption price.) This includes the travel cost, the crate (yours to keep), and required health certificate. The airline flight can be booked 24-72 hours ahead of time. All funds must be cleared before the puppy can be shipped to you. Payment can be made by check (allow 14 working days for funds to clear), Cashier's Check, or Wire Transfer.
Seller prefers all funds be received within 2 weeks prior to travel arrangements being made to insure all funds are cleared. Seller prefers wire transfer if payment is being made within the 2 weeks prior to shipment. Wal-Mart also offers a service for wiring money anywhere in the United States and we do have a local Wal-Mart if you wish to make payment with this method.
PLEASE CALL YOUR AIRLINE AHEAD OF TIME to find out exactly where and when to pick up your puppy. We will try to provide you with that explicit information if possible but is still advisable to call the airline yourself, write down all pertinent information. Be assured, we will be in touch with you both before and after the flight--probably several times. We will provide you with the flight numbers, airway bill number, and any other vital information you may need to pick up your pup. Remember to bring a current photo ID to present to airport security.
When you pick up your puppy from the airport, please bring the following:
1. Bottled water and a non-tipping bowl
2. Soft collar and small leash if you have a good distance to travel (limit food given on the way home)
3. Paper towels, wet wipes, and zip lock bags to clean up after your puppy as needed
4. Warm blanket or soft towel to snuggle your puppy on the way home
5. A soft chew toy
