How much does it cost to ship a puppy?
A. This can vary a great deal, depending on the airline and the destination. In my experience the cost for airfare has been between $175 and $285. There is also a $150 fee for the shipping crate, health certificate, rabies vaccination, and transporting the puppy to the airport. This breaks down to shipping crate $35, vet fees $65, transportation fee $50. The average total cost to ship one puppy is at least $325. Two puppies can be shipped almost as cheaply as one. You need to pay for an extra health certificate/exam and rabies vaccination but they can be shipped in the same carrier. The minimum cost to ship two puppies is $400. If the puppies are older though, it may be necessary to go the next size carrier, which will add from $50-$80 to the cost.
