Anybody shipped a dog before?

Trying to get a dog from San Francisco airport to Waco Airport if possible or DFW. Is it as easy as buying a crate and a ticket and sending him on his way or do you have to go thru an animal shipper?

The only ones I've seen are scams selling Huskies that they will ship. Good luck.

Yes, it is. You should consult a Vet before you ship a dog. They can prescribe sedatives for travel to ease the anxiety for them. I personally wouldn't ship a dog anywhere commercially. If you just toss them in a cage or kennel and put them onboard a aircraft without medication they will panic the whole time. I don't think that is a very nice thing to do. The noise you are hearing is 4x louder to them.

Damn you. You ruined my joke because I was slow on the draw.

If it was a piece at a time it would probably fit in some flat rate boxes

The occasional overnight shift has it's advantages.

Don't you just love those people who think it's ok to take dogs into grocery stores and restaurants because they have "anxiety"? They call it a service dog.

The death rate for air cargo animals is appalling. I think United is one of the worst.

The death rate for air cargo animals is appalling. I think United is one of the worst.

According to DoT statistics, 26 animals died while being transported on planes in 2016, a rate of 0.5 per 10,000 animals transported. A third of those deaths occurred on United Airlines – nine animals (2.11 deaths or injuries per 10,000), and another 14 were injured.Apr 27, 2017

It's not that bad, but I wouldn't ship an animal.
