Shipping Process at Aussie Blue Heeler Pups
At Aussie Blue Heeler Pups, we understand the excitement and anticipation that comes with bringing a new puppy into your home. To ensure a smooth and stress-free experience, we have established a comprehensive shipping process designed to prioritize the safety and well-being of our Blue Heeler puppies.
1. Preparation for Shipping: The shipping process begins well before the puppy leaves our facility. Each puppy undergoes a thorough health check by a licensed veterinarian to ensure they are fit for travel. This includes vaccinations, deworming, and a health certificate issued no more than 10 days before the scheduled departure. Puppies are also acclimated to their travel crates to reduce stress during transit.
2. Selecting the Right Shipping Method: We offer several shipping options to accommodate the needs of our customers. These include ground transportation and air shipping. Ground transportation is typically arranged through reputable pet transport companies that specialize in the safe and comfortable movement of animals. For air shipping, we collaborate with airlines that have dedicated pet transport services, ensuring the puppies are kept in climate-controlled environments and handled with care.
3. Scheduling the Shipment: Once the health checks are completed and the appropriate shipping method is selected, we coordinate with the transport company or airline to schedule the shipment. We aim to choose the most direct routes and minimize layovers to reduce travel time and stress on the puppy. Customers are provided with a detailed itinerary, including departure and arrival times, as well as tracking information to monitor the puppy’s journey.
4. Day of Departure: On the day of departure, puppies are fed and given water several hours before their trip to ensure they are comfortable but not overly full. They are placed in secure, well-ventilated crates that meet airline and transport regulations. Each crate is equipped with absorbent bedding, a familiar toy or blanket, and a small supply of food and water.
5. During Transit: Throughout the journey, the transport providers take regular breaks to check on the puppies, ensuring they are comfortable and safe. For air travel, puppies are transported in the climate-controlled cargo hold, and airline staff are trained to handle them with care. We maintain open communication with the transport providers to receive updates and address any concerns promptly.
6. Arrival and Handover: Upon arrival, customers are notified immediately and provided with instructions on where to pick up their new puppy. For ground transportation, puppies are typically delivered directly to the customer’s doorstep. For air travel, customers may need to collect their puppy from the airline’s cargo facility. We ensure a smooth handover process and remain available for any questions or support needed post-arrival.
At Aussie Blue Heeler Pups, the safety and well-being of our puppies during the shipping process are our top priorities. We strive to provide a seamless experience, ensuring each puppy arrives happy, healthy, and ready to start their new life with their forever family.
