Shipping
We ship mostly via American Airlines. If your airport does not offer service by AA then we may be able to use other airlines for a slightly higher shipping cost. Dogs are transported in the cargo section of the plane in pressurized and climate controlled area separate from the baggage. Airlines stipulate that we can only ship when the ground temperature is predicted between 20-85 degrees. If you live in a very hot place in the summer or a cold place in the winter please let us know when purchasing a puppy so we can try and work around the temperature. You are also always welcome to fly in and pick up your puppy. Dogs traveling with passengers are not regulated the same way cargo shipped dogs because they always remain with you. This is also the safest way to transport extremely small sized puppies so you can care for them during the entire trip.
After we book the flight for your new puppy we receive a confirmation number. We will email this conformation to you; print this and take it with your ID to the airport to pick up your puppy. This is usually near the luggage pick up area but you need to call the airline ahead of time to find out exactly where they have live animal pick up. Some airports have alternate out of terminal pick up locations. Calling ahead will save you frustration and delays during pick up.
Your new puppy will arrive in a new airline approved plastic shipping crate loaded with shredded paper and with a small amount of food taped to the top. Airline security regulations prohibit us from placing anything else such as leashes, blankets or toys inside the crate. We strive to book the shortest and most direct flight so as to limit stress and travel time for you new puppy. However, even on the shortest of flights, sometimes turbulence in travel can case "accidents" so your new Pomeranian may have soiled on itself. Come prepared with some paper towels and wet wipes just in case. Your new puppy should arrive happy and excited to see it's new family but remember it has already had a long day of travel so try and limit it's excitement for the first 24 hours so it can rest. Shipping currently is an addition $300 on the puppy price.

Feeding
While in our care your Pomeranian puppy was free fed (available at all times) Nutro small breed puppy dry food. This food can be purchased at most quality pet food stores. . DO NOT change your brand of food abruptly. If a change of food is required, mix the Nutro small breed puppy dog food with your new brand for at least a week, gradually increasing the amount of the new brand until the switch is made. Promptly treat any signs of loose bowels (which can be a sign that the new food is not being tolerated well) in the manner recommended by your vet. If you choose to switch to a different brand make sure and READ THE INGREDIENTS LABEL!!! Many inferior and some high end dog foods are loaded with ingredients you don't want your dog eating! Make sure meat is the number one ingredient on the ingredient list. Dogs are carnivores and are designed to eat meat not corn! Also know what kind of meat you are getting, if they don't tell you what kind of animal the meat came from it could be anything. High quality food will typically have lamb, chicken or beef as their main ingredient. Chicken or lamb tends to be easier to digest, but the others are ok too. Most low end and even name brand dog food is mostly corn and other bi-products your new Pomeranian needs the maximum nutrition available. Never feed a generic brand food or one that does not bear the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) seal of approval.
Provide your Pomeranian with high quality food and water at all times. Also make sure they are actually EATING their food! Your Pom should eat small amounts of food throughout the day and take frequent rest periods. It is also important to provide a quiet, out of the way place where your Pomeranian can rest. Make sure not to overtire a small dog and watch your Pomeranian closely if it has not been eating like it should. Do not give your Pom too many treats as this could cause it to go off its food. An occasional tidbit is ok, but do not make it a habit of feeding people food or treats. Treats and table scraps are not formulated for optimum nutrition. Table scraps usually contain way too much salt, sugar and preservatives to be healthy for a dog. Canned food is also not recommended because it can have detrimental effects on the health of the teeth. Toy breeds are known to have a high incidence of dental disease. If you must feed a soft food, make sure your Pom has regular veterinary dental care and brush its teeth daily and provide plenty of chew toys. Toys are also very necessary for puppies when they are teething. If they don't have toys to chew on they will find something else! Long skinny rawhide chews are great for toy breeds with small mouths. These seem to be the only ones that small dogs can get all the way to their back teeth.
If your puppy has been eating a specialized diet while in our care we will provide you with more detailed information on the care of your new puppy.
