Delta Airlines Pet First

There are special cases when we will ship a puppy via air to it's new home. We prefer to meet our new owners in person however we do allow shipping on a case by case basis.

Delta Airlines is our only method of pet travel out of Myrtle Beach. We have worked with the employees at Delta and have found that they are caring individuals who go the extra mile to ensure our pups are comfortable and safe during the entire flight.

Rates change every year and depend on the destination of your pet. The price includes travel crate, flight fee, health certificate from our veterinarian and your puppy's kit (registration paperwork) mailed before the flight.

Vaccinating your pet is essential in keeping it healthy. Although a breeder may give your puppy an initial vaccine, that vaccine will need to be boostered at least 2 times. New puppy owners must visit a licensed veterinarian who will recommend the appropriate boosters and start a vaccine schedule for your pet. Yearly visits to your vet and vaccinations are needed to keep your pet in good health.

Unprotected pets can contract heartworms at any time. Many pet owners think that heartworm prevention is not needed because their pets stay indoors. Heartworms are contracted by infected mosquitos and it only takes one bite to start the heartworm lifecycle in your pet. How many times have we been bitten by a mosquito in our own homes? Heartworm prevention can be started at your first vet visit with your new puppy. Heartworm disease can be treated however, the process is extremely expensive and drawn out over many months. In some cases the treatment it is not effective and the dog can not be saved. In most cases it causes permanent damage. Check with your veterinarian about the risks of Heartworm disease in your area.
