Step-by-Step Shipping Process
From reservation to homecoming, here is how we manage your miniature dachshund puppy's journey.
Reserve Your Puppy & Make Payment
Once you reserve a puppy, we confirm your delivery address and payment details. Deposit or full payment (puppy + delivery costs) must be completed before shipment is arranged.
Delivery Quote & Method Selection
We provide you with a delivery quote based on your location, delivery method (ground or air), and scheduling preferences (standard or express). You'll receive a clear overview of the proposed journey.
Pre‑Travel Vet Check & Documentation
Your puppy receives a final vet health check and all necessary documentation is prepared, including health certificate, vaccination records, and deworming records. Puppy must be 8 weeks old minimum.
Travel Preparation & Crate Setup
We prepare an airline-approved crate with soft bedding and include a familiar blanket or toy to help ease your puppy's transition. Complete puppy care guide is included in the package.
Shipment & Regular Updates
The carrier begins transport, typically completing delivery within 1-2 business days. You'll receive regular updates during transport (as available) and notice upon arrival or delivery handoff.
Delivery & Settling In
You or your designated person receives the puppy at the scheduled time. We provide settling‑in guidance covering feeding, toilet breaks, and introducing your puppy to family members and other pets.
Preparing for Your Puppy’s Arrival
A little preparation goes a long way in helping your miniature dachshund feel safe and settled after their journey.
Before Your Puppy Travels
We recommend having your puppy space ready before the transport date. Create a quiet, draft-free corner with a bed or crate, water bowl and a small area for supervised toilet breaks.
Home Setup Checklist
• Safe, enclosed area where your puppy can decompress.
• Comfortable bed or crate away from loud noises.
• Fresh water and the same food your puppy has been eating with us.
• Puppy pads or access to a secure outdoor toilet space.
After a Day of Travel
It’s normal for a puppy to be a little tired or quiet after transport. Offer water first, then a small meal once they've had time to relax and explore their new surroundings.
Arrival Day Tips
• Keep introductions calm and gentle, especially with children and other pets.
• Allow extra naps — rest is part of adjusting to a new home.
• Stick to a simple routine in the first few days to build confidence.
• Contact us if you have any concerns or questions about behaviour or appetite.
