We can ship your puppy to you!

  • How.

    We can ship puppies all over Canada with major airlines who take excellent care of our dogs. WestJet Cargo accepts puppies in the cargo hold at 8 weeks of age. Air Canada accepts puppies at 10 weeks of age. If you would prefer to fly in and pick up your puppy in person, they can be taken in-cabin in a Sherpa bag that fits under the seat in front of you.

  • Where.

    Ironpride puppies are highly sought after by families and breeders all over the world! We have puppies all over North America, and in many countries overseas including: Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Ukraine, Russia, Chile, Germany, Estonia, Philippines, France, China, Brazil, Colombia, India, and Czech. It is possible for us to ship puppies almost anywhere in the world, either via cargo or with a pet nanny service.

  • Cost.

    Airfare within Canada for 8-10 week old puppies averages around $350-$500 depending on the puppies’ weight and size of crate required. Your puppy will need an airline approved crate (which you can use for crate training the first few months he’s home), vet health certificate, and dishes for inside the crate. We will take care of all the arrangements, obtain necessary documents, deliver him to the airport and send an update once he’s checked in for his flight.

Shipping outside of Canada

Unfortunately during Covid, all airlines stopped offering live animal shipping from Canada to the United States. This policy is still in effect. Therefore, our American families have two options; they can fly in and pick up their puppies in person to take back in-cabin with them, or, we can have a licensed Pet Transporter deliver your puppy over the border to be shipped as cargo out of Detroit or Buffalo Airports.

Puppies heading overseas: a licensed IPATA Pet Shipper is required by most airlines now to book transport for puppies via cargo. We can recommend IPATA Shippers or obtain quotes ourselves, assist in obtaining all the import documents required by your country and have them approved by CFIA prior to export, as well as preparing the crate for your puppy prior to travel. Please note that shipping a puppy overseas via cargo is very expensive (we’re talking thousands of dollars) and most puppies cannot leave until 4-5 months of age as required by the country of import, so additional vet, boarding and care expenses will also be charged. Sometimes it is more affordable (and easier) for you to come to Canada and fly back with your puppy as checked-baggage attached to your ticket.
