transporting dogs
transporting dogs
I need a way to transport my dogs from ND to SC. The airlines won't do it. Are there any services that transport dogs that are reputable?

Re: transporting dogs
first of all are you flying to sc or are you just sending the dogs
if you are flying there is no way the air line can not take your dogs if you do the paper work
if you are just flying your dogs i dont know but some air lines do fly (PETS)

Re: transporting dogs
Give Chuck a call at Gundog Express. I've used him a couple of times and have been very happy. He is from North Dakota and I know he is leaving Monday morning to make a run south. He's hauling a dog for me from SD to TX. Here's a link http://www.gundogexpress.com/Delivery.html

Re: transporting dogs
I will be flying in the early summer, and returning in the late summer. The airlines tell me it is too hot then.

Re: transporting dogs
I don't need them to be there until the end of May.

Re: transporting dogs
The end of May the temps are way too hot. They won't ship over 85 degrees. Period.

Re: transporting dogs
I have flown puppies all over the US. You just have to be a little flexible in scheduling. End of May is certainly doable. You just keep an eye on the 10 day forecasts for departing city and destination. Also choose early morning flights. Flying from ND is a little tougher as they typically go to Minneapolis first, but still doable. Also I believe it is Continental that offers or use to offer a service that you could fly them at any temp, as they were kept in climate controlled areas the entire time. Costs more, but gets the job done

Re: transporting dogs
Getting by the 85 degree limit is easy, all you need is an acclimation on the Health Certificate from the vet. We ship to and from SC all the time. Delta and Northwestern are the two carriers we use.The end of May the temps are way too hot. They won't ship over 85 degrees. Period.

Re: transporting dogs
If you decide to ship with any airlines durning summer months they will check thier own weather info for heat index. Delta who I've shipped dogs all over the U.S. will not ship to any destination unless the temps are under 85 degrees. I've had the problem for years. In years past it wasn't so much a big deal within a couple degrees, but here lately they won't do it. Here's the number for Delta. 888-736-3738. Winter isn't such a problem, but summer is.
Re: transporting dogs
If the Health Cdertificate has an acclimation on it from the vet, Delta will ship above 85 degrees. You have posted that twice and you are wrong. WE DO IT REGULARLY.Delta who I've shipped dogs all over the U.S. will not ship to any destination unless the temps are under 85 degrees.

Sorry, but Delta has never told me that. But they are a bunch of Morons when trying to deal with them.Yawallac wrote:If the Health Cdertificate has an acclimation on it from the vet, Delta will ship above 85 degrees.

Re: transporting dogs
I not looking for a fight here, but I just got off the phone with Delta . Their exact words are " We will not ship any animal to a city where the temps are 85 degrees or over when the animal arrives at destintation". I've tried the Vet deal and Delta won't buy it. Only exception is in Alaska. Don't know about Continental, but it's also on the web site for Delta Cargo. Just going by what they say. I've tried it too many times.
Re: transporting dogs
We ship Delta out of Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC. Our lows during the summer are 85 degrees.
...but I'm sure you're right.

Re: transporting dogs
Like I said. If the destination is 85 or over they won't ship. It's also posted on their site.

We not only ship out, we ship in. I wonder how they get here?

Re: transporting dogs
For those that have used Vagabondhound, do they usually get back with you in a timely manner? I filled out my online request form, called 2-3 times and have not heard anything since I originally talked with Steve. The plan was to have the dog early/middle of next week, but I cannot get ahold of him. Is this normal? I'm about to book with someone else if I don't hear back from him by tomorrow.

you might ask snips which transport she posted about being extremely displeased with

Re: transporting dogs
Thanks, I was wondering if anyone else had had any similar problems. Guess that answers that question!
