If you wish to fly in to pick up your puppy within the USA
I would advise flying into Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF)
because the traffic along that route is a lot less than traffic from Toronto.
People then rent a car, to come to my home to pick up puppy and meet littermates and mom.
Crossing with a puppy via LAND BORDER is less complicated, than by other methods.

IN USA...I'm told Delta is the most expensive carry on for pets
and South Western is one of the less expensive, so shop around.
DO NOT BOOK PUPPY ON United Airlines
because they may still require Rabies vaccine (?)
Generally flying with puppy as "carry on" or "Accompanied" will be an additional $50-$100.00

IF you are coming from TX or California you may have to fly in and stay overnight.
There may be limited flights into/out of Buffalo and may be too tight for a return flight connection.
Many of my people, have done this and been happy staying at the
Millenium Hotel
2040 Walden Ave
Buffalo, NY 14225
United States Phone: +1 716-681-2400
OR Home2 Suites by Hilton Buffalo Airport/Galleria Mall
1999 Walden Ave
Cheektowaga, NY 14225, United States
Phone: +1 716-249-2700

Both of these hotels have airport shuttles, are nice and dog friendly
AND have Walden Galleria Mall and great dining (cheescake factory)
within walking distance for something to do.


Another option is flying into and out of Detroit, Michigan.
Bigger airport, more flight options, but also further away from me.
Google map to see which route you would prefer.

Canadians, I can meet at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport
simply known as Hamilton International Airport (YHM)
Small airport, I can park out front, and bring puppy to you, or transport you
to my home, to pick up puppy and see where puppy has been raised and then drive you back again.
OR I can meet you there to hand puppy to you so you can make your connecting flight home.

I can't drive to TORONTO Airport (YYZ), as is too far for me, roads are often shut down for
accidents, bumper to bumper traffic and my van will not fit in their parking.
However if you wish to fly into Toronto and rent a car to drive to my home
that is your choice and I would suggest doing so on the weekend when less traffic.

1. Each airline has a size of cage they will accept, find this out
as you will need to buy a soft sided cage, generally Walmart is cheaper.
AND you can always return it to walmart, when you are done.
Also find out what requirments are to fly with puppy as carry on
as each airline is different and has different requirments such as
carrier size, age, and some flights limit how many pets are allowed to fly.


2. I would advise bringing baby wipes, poop bags and pee pads lining your cage.
Incase puppy has an accident or you let them potty.


3. Puppy can be hungry when you get home.
Or not wishing to eat at all.
NOT A REASON FOR CONCERN.
RAW is easy to digest and also what they are used to, so have some ready for them.
They may gulp that down super fast, or not at all, do not panic
Just ensure puppy has a quiet place where they can be left with their food
undisturbed so they can focus on eating.
Feeding RAW

DO NOT FEED puppy if your flight is under 6 hours before getting home.
Eating during travel can cause puppy's tummy to be VERY upset, causing vomiting or loose stools. = MESS
They do need to be offered water around every 6 hours and place to potty, which should be in the washroom
or in the airport washroom, lay down pee pads... NOT in the public potty park for dogs
where goodness knows what coodie infested "Rescues" have brought in.
You can use the grassy areas out front of the airport. Avoid any strange animal's "poops".
Denta sticks, or such will help with puppy hunger and keep them entertained during the flight


4.We have had MANY people choose to fly in from all over the world and pick up their puppy in person
returning home with puppy, as carry on, in a soft sided carrier that meets the requirements of their chosen airline.
Airlines are NOT particular (if you don't ask) about size of the SOFT carrier as it will squish under the seat
unlike a hard carrier that needs to be a specific size to fit under the seats.
When flying "with" puppy or "accompanied", the airlines are NOT usually strict in enforcing size of carrier
and do allow you to open the carrier during the flight, to play and cuddle with puppy.
PLEASE DO NOT PUSH LIMITS, OR CAUSE PROBLEMS AND RUIN IT FOR OTHERS.

When booking your flight, you will need to book "usually" for a 10 week old puppy
but can range from 8 weeks to 16 weeks of age so please ask the airline how old
puppy needs to be, and let me know.




In Canada I have been working with a Flight Nanny that I meet at Hamilton Airport and she flies
to a Canaadian airport closest to you, for a fee of $700.00 as of 2024.
On ocassion she has had to charge $200.00 more, because of the location does not have
a return flight that day, and she has had to stay in a hotel.
Such an example was to Halifax, Nova Scotia and that fee was $900.00
IF wishing our flight nanny service then, Puppy and Flight Nanny fee
needs to be sent to me via e-transfer 5 days prior to puppy departing.
IF I am given enough notice, I may be able to connect with a person
travelling to a dog show and they usually charge around $400.00
Flight Nanny would meet you at a major airport, to hand your puppy over to you.
On the agreed upon day and time. She is great at communicating with you.


2019 TRAVEL INFORMATION from one of our PUPPY PEOPLE
FLYING with Puppy Carry On
I will go into allot of detail for you so you can choose
what you want pass on and hopefully since I traveled most of my career
I would consider myself as a well-seasoned traveler.
The goal of this is to provide helpful hints for a non-eventful
travel day for all your future poodle owners.

When making airline reservations first thing I would recommend
is CALLING the airline to purchase your tickets after you have
researched what flights work the best for:

1) traveling time (ideally direct flights).

2) price (know what restrictions are applicable regarding cancellations,
non-refundable or flight change fees) and

3) baggage fee charges and restrictions (you will have the dog carrier
with you at all times which counts as one carry on
and in the second carry on bag I had the dog supplies/necessities
for travel and of course my wallet).. I decided to check my third bag
containing my personal items because I do not like to worry about
how many ounces my toiletries are and other carry on restrictions.
Southwest did not charge me for the bags, but other airlines
especially Spirit (which is a horrible) will charge for all checked bags.
Spirit also bases their checked baggage fee on when you paid for the checked bag.
If you pay for the bag when you make the reservation the fee is lower
than if you pay on the bag the day of travel.

The purpose of CALLING the airline to finalize the reservations
is that some airlines restrict the number of pets which are allowed in the cabin.
This information is only verified by a phone call not on the airlines reservation page.
I called the airline and had my reservation on the computer ready to go,
confirmed there was room for my pet, then booked the reservation.
I then provided my reservation number to the airline so it was noted
that my pet was on the system and good to go. By booking the reservation directly
I did not have worry about additional fees for the airline to book the reservation.
Some airlines charge booking fees if an agent makes the reservations others do not.

Prior to the day of Travel, Items I purchased were:
Soft Sided Dog Carrier
(make certain the carrier picked is approved by the airline, check their web page)
as the carrier will be placed under the seat in front of you.

Pee Pads - In the dog carrier I put a pad in case of an accident.
I chose not the place mom's blanket in the carrier is case of an accident
because having to wash the blanket defeats the purpose.

Garbage Bags or Poop bags for disposal of the pad, wipes in case
there was a bad accident. Bijou Poodles usually provides poop scoop bags.

Portable water bowl
(liquids are not allowed through security)

Dental Chew to keep puppy busy and fill any munchies AND
to help clear the puppy's ears during takeoff/landing.
Place the toy i provide in the carrier, so puppy has the familiar smells.

Baby wipes and or Lysol wipes for any accidents (they are still babies)

Collar and Leash Bijou Poodles does provide, along with toy and blanket with mom's scent
so do not bring a wack of toys, or other items that you will just be carrying around.

The day of Travel
Again all airlines have their way of doing things we just need to figure it out.

When I picked up the puppy I gradually introduced her to the dog carrier
as the confined space might take some getting use to.

Upon arrival at the airport I had to pay the fee to carry-on the dog.
I was able to pay at the baggage check in (only by credit card they do not take cash)
preventing me from having the wait in the full service counter line.
This fee could not be paid prior to check-in per Southwest again check with the individual airline.

Southwest charged $95.00 for my puppy.

Now for the ride home. Technically the dog
must remain in the carrier under the seat during the entire flight.
Only service dogs are allowed out the carriers in the cabin.
I did not have the luxury of a direct flight so for both the landings and takeoffs
I had her in the carrier under the seat. Otherwise she was in my lap,
no one said anything.

Airports offer "relief areas for service dogs".
Buffalo's areas are in the terminals. but not all airports offer in door relief areas.
*NOTE breeder prefers you take pee pad into the washroom on the floor
Because airport relief areas can be frequented by coodie Riddled "rescues"
The Orlando relief area is located outside on the lower baggage claim area.
This meant we had to go through TSA security check again. My layover was 3 hours so we had
plenty of time anything less than 1 and 1/2 hours is risky.
