I have a family member that has a litter of Boxer puppies from her female and CH male Boxer. There is a person in Canada interested in purchasing one of the puppies because of the bloodlines. The CH male is an older dog and will probably not be bred again, so this is probably his last litter. This Canadian family can provide a very good home for the puppy and they have plans to show with the Canadian Kennel Club. They understand there will be extra shipping charges. How does one safely ship a Boxer puppy from the U.S. to Canada? My sister has never shipped a puppy before, and I have no clue either, so we would like some advice on doing so. Need to know the steps to take and what all we should do. My sister is living in Alabama right now. I think the closest airports to her would either be Birmingham or Huntsville, but she can take the puppy to a larger airport like Atlanta or Nashville if absolutely necessary. The puppy would need to be shipped to Edmonton in Alberta? Thanks!!
Would love to hear from someone that has experience shipping pups or dogs from the U.S. to Canada. We want to ensure we do it the right way and also for the safety and best interest of the pup.

The puppy must be beautiful! Canada is not the most difficult destination for exporting a dog, but anytime a pet owner ships internationally, they should make sure to keep a few things in mind:
- The puppy can travel two ways to CA, as accompanied in cabin with a passenger, or as manifested cargo. Both the passenger area of the plane and the cargo area of the plane are temp. and pressure controlled, but the cargo area is dimly lit, which is preferable for dogs while in transit to reduce anxiety. WHETHER IT CAN TRAVEL AS ACCOMPANIED WITH PASSENGER DEPENDS ON THE AIRLINE REGULATIONS, NOT CANADIAN OR US REG.
- If your puppy is going into CA w/o a rabies vac. and is under 3 mos. of age, then you will need to make pre-arrival arrangements with the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) veterinarian,by contacting their office.
- If your puppy will be over 3 mos., the dog needs a rabies vac. and a health cert. (us international FORM aphis 7001)
- The crate that you choose should be IATA (International Air Transportation Assoc.) approved, meaning that major airlines will accept it as manifested cargo. It should be a two piece hard plastic crate, and ventilation on all sides is preferable but not required. Many crate companies meet these requirements, but different airlines require slightly different things. For instance, some carriers mandate that internationally traveling pets should have clips AND metal pins securing the crate in place. A good quality crate known as the CLIPPER series can be purchased here: http://www.premierpetrelocation.com/
-The airlines that we usually use (I represent a pet relocation company: Premier Pet Relocation) to enter Canada are United/Continental, Delta, or Air Canada. We use software provided to us by the airlines that informs us of current routes and whether planes at different airports can accommodate pets that we assist.
-Make sure that your pet has received no medication prior to the flight in an effort to sedate the pet. It is never ok to sedate your pet prior to travel, as healthy pets with valid health certs. do not need sedation to travel.
-Direct flights are usually less stressful on the pet than those with connections. I am not positive, but I think that the optimal route would be ATL -> YEG.
-I hope that I'm not leaving any information out. At Premier Pet Relocation, we have an international specialist named Vanessa who handles all of our international pet relocation. If you were to have any questions and would like to retain her service, kindly visit our website or give us a call:
