Answer
CALL THE AIRLINES=ASK THE PROS!! All have free 800 numbers

A *MINIMUM* of $200 just for the fare..add another hundred PLUS-$200?- for taxes the crate,HEALTH cert.from the vet
Fees are based on size of crate *&* weight of dog & crate.

You GO TO THE AIRPORT!!!
duh

DONE it dozens of times-NOT guessing.

How do you fly a dog across the country, alone?

My brother needs to ship his dog from WV to TX, but my brother won't be flying. We know how he can get the dog home when he flies with him, but how do we 'ship' the dog?


Answer
If you contact the shipping departments of various airlines, they can help you. Contenental is a good one with shipping -- you can check the information on their website as that will give you an idea as to what is expected. Basically they have to have a veterinary health certificate within thirty days of shipping, they need to have a crate that the airlines like the size of -- one large enough for the dog to stand up and turn around in - often you can buy them from the airlines but Walmart has them too and a little cheaper I think. You set up for who is going to recieve the dog - there has to be someone designated to recieve the dog. You have to set all this up and then get the dog to the shipping area of the airport fairly early before the flight - some of the airlines the recieving party can pick them up at the terminal and others they need to go to the cargo area. I can't recall but I think the dogs I have gotten in at the Dallas, San Antonio and Houston airports, I have usually gone to the cargo areas except with Delta - they had the dog at the office area in the terminal - they will be able to let you know about that though prior to shipping. It is more expensive shipping without being an accompanying dog so, depending upon size, he needs to check on cost and be ready to pay for it - no CODs or anything like that. There are usually restrictions with regards to weather/temperatures but now isn't a bad time and Contenental supposedly doesn't have these restrictions because they have climate controlled areas they keep the live animals - but check on it beforehand. Try to get straight through flights as well so that there isn't any mix up changing planes in Tinbucktoo or something. If he can drive to a large airport that has a straight through flight, or at least no change of planes but with a short stop somewhere, and ship to a large airport in TX with no changes - I think Houston is a primary for Continental, Dallas for American (wasn't terribly pleased with them) and can't remember San Antonio - maybe Continental too but certain flights I think... anyway, the shipping agents are usually VERY helpful with this so calling and talking to them is a good idea. Good luck!

BTW, I have never had to tranqualize a dog to ship them and wouldn't recommend it -- there is no one in the cargo area of the plane to watch and if they get into trouble with the tranquelizer, it could be dangerous. They will usually settle down in the crate, particularly if they are crate trained prior to shipping. I have just heard too many horror stories with tranquilizing animals for shipment.
