Our Puppy Shipping Process
At Happy Jack Russells, we take pride in offering safe, reliable, and stress-free delivery options for families who live too far to visit us in person. We know that the perfect Jack Russell Terrier puppy can be waiting for you—even if you’re across the country—and we’re committed to making that connection as smooth and secure as possible.
You may wonder, “Is flying safe for a young puppy?”
Absolutely. We would never allow a travel option that wasn’t completely safe, humane, and comfortable. Before partnering with any airline or carrier, we thoroughly evaluate their pet-handling procedures and require the highest standards for animal wellbeing. We only work with trusted airlines that operate USDA-approved, pet-friendly transport programs.
Every puppy from Happy Jack Russells travels in a climate-controlled cabin area, never in cargo. A trained pet nanny accompanies your puppy throughout the entire trip, giving them personal attention, comfort, and reassurance from departure to arrival. This ensures your puppy is never alone at any point of the journey.
Before each flight, your puppy is carefully prepared to ensure a calm, healthy travel experience. They are well-fed, hydrated, and allowed time to relax before leaving. We provide clear care instructions, frozen water that melts naturally during the trip, and enough food to last the entire flight.
Most flights range between 4 to 6 hours, and in the majority of cases, your puppy arrives the very same day they leave. We track flights in real time, coordinate all scheduling, and keep you updated so you always know exactly how your puppy’s travel is progressing. Inside their comfortable travel crate, your puppy will have:
Soft bedding
A familiar-scented toy or blanket
A small chew treat
These help keep them calm and content throughout the journey.
Whenever possible, we select nonstop flights to reduce travel time and avoid stress. Our Jack Russell puppies consistently arrive healthy, energetic, and excited to meet their new families.
Research shows that a short, well-managed flight (2–6 hours) is often less stressful for puppies than a long, warm-weather car ride of several hours. That’s why we rely on professional, pet-focused carriers who understand how much these puppies mean to their families.
At Happy Jack Russells, our top priority is ensuring your puppy’s travel experience is safe, smooth, and full of care—so the moment you meet your new companion is as joyful and memorable as it should be.
