I am concerneded that a baby flying may be in danger of picking up something...? Yes I m extremly paranoid...heheheh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusgem Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I had one of my Labradors flown up from Melbourne to Sydney when she was 8weeks old. I think I used dogtainers. They collected her from the breeder in Toolern Vale and put her on the plane and I went to the airport to pick her up. I could have got them to deliver her to me, but I wanted to be there at the other end to smooch her! She was absolutely fine, it's a short flight and I think most pups at that age are fairly oblivious to things... Well mine was anyway! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellz Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Contact fellow doler Wayrod. Can guarantee best prices AND best personal service. I have used his services a number of times now and wouldn't use anybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M United Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Is it more expensive to get the breeder to organize transport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 All I can offer is do not hire a crate from Jetpets! We did recently and were charged more than the cost of the crate to buy However we were in a rush so just paid. It ended up costing us only about $50 less to send the pup accompanied than it does to send them unaccompanied... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwp4me Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Two years ago I had a 10 week old GWP flown with Jetpets from Melbourne to Canberra. The breeder dropped the pup off at Melbourne Airport, I picked up the pup at Canberra Airport. The pup arrived very happy, still in his crate, offering me his paw, cost $100.00.

Teebs Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I've flown older dogs and cats with jet pets and 2 12 week old kittens - no issues and great service :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 My crate hire alone was $85 Then another $75 for Virgin Freight as excess baggage. The pup would have weighed about 6kg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
