Shipping by AIR CARGO

A dog can be sent virtually ANYWHERE in the world using Air Cargo. However there are restrictions for the welfare of the dog.

These restrictions obviously place a premium cost on the original airfare.

    • The cost is calculated by the Volumetric weight (length x width x height of the air kennel) of the dog and air kennel combined and NOT on the actual weight which is usually lower, therefore the smaller the dog/puppy; the smaller the airkennel that can be used and the cheaper it is, DO NOT compromise welfare. Your dog may be refused on the flight.
    • The dog requires a veterinary Health certificate for the Airlines to accept it onto the flight.
    • Once the booking is confirmed transport is virtually guaranteed subject to airline policy
    • Transit handling fee at some airports.
    • Overnight kennelling and handling fee at an airport whilst waiting for a connecting flight.
    • There is no insurance company offering viable and cost effective insurance cover in during transit
    • Shop around for the best fare but please do not compromise the wefare of your dog.

If coming into London or Manchester you will either need to hire a car or catch the Train which is not easy with a dog as you will have to negotiate several escalators and change trains also transporting the air kennel at the same time..
