The crate is yours
Your puppy has been sleeping and settling in that crate before travel day, so the box that arrives smells like home rather than like an airport.
A simple, flat rate — and the crate stays with you.
Most of our families do not live down the road, and a first flight is the part people worry about most. We have made it as ordinary as we can.
Puppies travel with an established Australian pet transport company we have worked with for years — the same one we use for our own dogs. They handle the airline booking, the health paperwork, the airport hand-over at both ends, and they will call you when your puppy is in the air.

- Sydney · Brisbane · Adelaide · Canberra · Hobart$550 flat

Flat rate includes the airline freight, the transport company’s handling and paperwork, and a new airline-approved travel crate that is yours to keep. Prices shown are indicative and confirmed in writing before booking.
“If the weather is wrong, or the routing is wrong, we wait. A puppy is not freight.”
What the flat rate covers
No surprises on travel day.
Flown, not driven
Direct flights wherever the schedule allows, always in climate-controlled hold or cabin as the airline permits, and never overnight in transit.
Age and weather rules
Puppies fly at a minimum of eight weeks, after their first vaccination, and never in a heat embargo. If the weather is wrong, we wait.
You are told everything
Flight number, tracking, the transport company’s direct line, and a photograph before the crate door closes.
Questions
Transport questions
Is flying safe for a young puppy?
Handled properly, yes. Puppies fly with an experienced pet transport company on the shortest available routing, crate-conditioned in advance, at a minimum of eight weeks and after their first vaccination. We will not fly a puppy during a heat embargo or on a routing with a long layover — we would rather rebook.
Can I collect my puppy in person instead?
Always, and many families do. Collection from us on the Mornington Peninsula is free and we set aside a proper hour for it, so you leave with the paperwork explained and your questions answered rather than with a box and a wave.
What if I live in a regional city?
We quote regional and rural addresses individually, because the answer depends on the nearest airport and whether a road leg is needed at the far end. Ask and we will find out the real number for your address rather than guessing.
What arrives with the puppy?
Registration paperwork, vaccination and microchip certificates, the desexing contract and health guarantee, a fortnight of the food they are already eating, a blanket carrying the litter’s scent, and the crate.
