Shipping & Delivery

Golden Fur Friends, we understand that bringing a new puppy into your life is an exciting experience, and we’re committed to making the shipping and delivery process as seamless, safe, and stress-free as possible for both you and your new furry companion. From start to finish, we ensure that your puppy’s journey to their new home is handled with the utmost care and attention.

Safe and Comfortable Travel for Your Puppy

We partner with trusted and experienced pet transport services to ensure your puppy travels safely and comfortably. Each puppy is transported in safe, climate-controlled, and well-ventilated carriers that are designed for pet travel. Our team ensures that your puppy is fully prepared for their trip, including all necessary health checks, vaccinations, and documentation to meet travel requirements.

Here’s what you can expect during the shipping and delivery process:

  1. Pre-Delivery Health Check:
    Before your puppy begins their journey, they will undergo a thorough health check to ensure they are fit for travel. This includes confirming that they are up-to-date on vaccinations, have been dewormed, and are in overall good health.

  2. Health Certificate:
    We provide a veterinary health certificate that verifies your puppy is free of any contagious diseases and is fit for travel. This gives you peace of mind that your puppy is in excellent health before embarking on their journey.

  3. Comfortable and Secure Transport:
    Whether your puppy is traveling by air or ground, we work with reputable transport professionals who specialize in safe pet delivery. Your puppy will travel in a well-ventilated crate, with plenty of room to move comfortably, clean bedding, and fresh water. We take great care to ensure that your puppy’s journey is as stress-free as possible.

  4. Tracking & Updates:
    We understand how excited you are to welcome your new puppy, so we provide tracking information and regular updates on the status of their transport. You’ll be notified of any delays and kept informed of the expected arrival time, so you’re always in the loop.

Delivery Options

We offer several delivery options to ensure your puppy reaches you safely, no matter where you are located:

1. Ground Transport (For Local or Nearby States)
If you’re within a reasonable driving distance from our facility, we can arrange for ground transport to deliver your puppy directly to your home. Our trusted ground transport partners ensure your puppy is comfortable and secure during their journey, with a direct route to your doorstep.

2. Air Transport (For Long-Distance Delivery)
For families further away, we offer air transport through reputable airlines that specialize in pet travel. We will handle all the arrangements for your puppy’s flight, including booking the flight, ensuring all travel documentation is in order, and coordinating the details with the airline. This option is ideal for long-distance delivery, whether it’s across the country or internationally.

3. International Shipping
For clients outside the United States, we also offer international shipping. This process requires additional paperwork, including customs documentation and country-specific import regulations. We will guide you through every step of this process to ensure that your puppy arrives safely and complies with international regulations. Please note that international shipping may take longer and incur additional fees based on your destination.

Preparing for Your Puppy’s Arrival

To ensure a smooth transition once your puppy arrives, we recommend that you have the following ready:

  • A Comfortable Bed and Bedding: Make sure you have a cozy space prepared for your puppy to settle into once they arrive.
  • Food and Water Bowls: Have fresh food and water available for your puppy as soon as they arrive.
  • A Safe and Secure Space: Puppy-proof your home to create a safe environment for your new companion.
  • Veterinary Appointment: Schedule a check-up with your veterinarian soon after your puppy arrives to ensure their health and begin preventive care.

You can also find a list of recommended puppy food options in our Puppy Care Guide, which will help ensure your puppy’s continued health and well-being.

When Will My Puppy Arrive?

Puppies are typically ready for delivery once they reach 8-10 weeks of age, though this can vary depending on their health and development. Once your puppy is ready, we will coordinate the best shipping option and provide you with an estimated delivery date. We will keep you updated with tracking information and expected arrival times leading up to your puppy’s journey.

Delivery Fees

Shipping and delivery fees depend on the distance, mode of transport, and the size of the puppy. We will provide a transparent breakdown of all shipping costs upfront so you can make an informed decision on the best delivery method for you. We strive to offer fair and competitive prices while maintaining the highest standards of care during transport.

Your Puppy’s First Steps with You

Once your puppy arrives, we want to ensure they are welcomed into a loving, prepared environment. Our puppies are raised to be well-socialized, confident, and ready to adjust to their new home, and we are here to offer advice and support as your new companion settles in.

Thank you for choosing Golden Fur Friends. We are honored to be a part of your journey and look forward to helping you welcome your new puppy into your family.
