Puppy Nanny Air Transport: I (Mel) can personally fly with your puppy to your nearest major airport. That cost is $750. There are also other pet nanny companies you can find with a quick google search. The downside to these private puppy nanny companies is that they are typically airline employees that fly standby and you won't know if they've gotten a seat on a flight until the last minute. My flights are all paid seats so no standby to worry about. ​
​
​
Flying in to Pick up: ​ This is a good option if you have a free day, and want to save yourself the puppy nanny fee. We will meet you at MSP (Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport) for no charge.
​
Cost: The cost of this is the Price of the flight + the Puppy Carry On fee ($75-$125 Varies by Airline)
​
What You'll Get: Your puppy will come with a small puppy pack that includes vaccination records, health guarantee, small bag of food, toy, leash, treats, and a collar. You'll also get a couple extra potty pads and a packet of wipes incase your puppy has an accident on the return flight home.
​
What You'll Need: You will need to purchase an airline approved carrier to put your puppy in on the return flight home.
​
Where You'll Go: When you arrive at MSP you will meet us outside (curbside) at the arrivals/departures doors.
Tips:
-
Your puppy probably has to go potty before it's long flight. Family Restrooms are a great place to put your puppy pad down and let your puppy relieve itself. This eliminates the risk of picking up any viruses or diseases from public dog potty areas.
-
We have included some wipes if your puppy has an accident during their trip but you may need to give them a quick bath in the sink when they arrive home. We will skip your puppies breakfast before their flight and give them some anti-diarrhea medication to help prevent accidents.
-
Typically they just sleep through the flight happily :)
Driving to Pick Up: ​ This is a good option if you live reasonably close to Minneapolis or Western Wisconsin.
​
Cost: The price of gas.

​
What You'll Need: If you don't have a passenger who's lap your puppy can sit in on the way home, you'll need a crate or carrier to put them in.
​
Where You'll Go: You can pick up your puppy in Somerset, WI at our home.
Tips: Try to avoid puppy dog potty areas where they could pick up diseases/viruses that they are not yet immune to.
​
Meeting: ​ If you want to drive but would like us to meet you somewhere closer, we usually can accommodate that for the cost of gas up to 2 hours away from Somerset, WI.
