Red Carpet Doodles always encourages you to come pick up your puppy in person, or you're always welcome to schedule your own puppy nanny or transportation service! We are located 10 minutes North of Idaho Falls & we'd love to meet you in person! Or, we are happy to meet at our local airport in Idaho Falls, Idaho Regional Airport (IDA) which is only 10 minutes away from our home. IDA hosts United, Delta, American, Alaska and Allegiant Airlines.

We have been mostly utilizing puppy nanny delivery service at this time. Puppy nannies will hand-carry your puppy in the cabin of the airplane on a “stand-by” basis from our airport to your closest international airport. Because of that, they will look for a flight that has the best chance of them being able to board so that their flight plan is usually accurate. Occasionally, due to last minute bookings, they won’t make it on the planned flight and then have to wait for the next available flight.  When that happens, they are excellent to keep in contact with you on what's going on so that you know what to expect.  Currently, that fee starts at $700 & up, depending on your location and ease of accessibility for the nanny to fly in and out of your airport, which includes: 

​

• Puppy nanny charge

• Airline charge for pet in-cabin

• Final thorough vet exam & health certificate for your new puppy

​We do have ground transportation available as well. That cost is approximately $200-$800+ depending on your location and includes: 

​

• Ground transporter fee

• Final thorough vet exam & health certificate for your new puppy 

Due to the pandemic, United is still not flying puppies through their Pet Safe Program (cargo). If and when they do finally lift their restrictions, we will once again be able to safely resume shipping year-round via their Pet Safe Program! Puppies must be at least 16 weeks of age before traveling via United; therefore, there we do charge a flat fee of $600 to meet their requirements which includes:

​

• 6 weeks boarding

• the required rabies vaccination

• the USDA veterinary health certificate

• a final thorough veterinary exam on your new puppy.

United Airline's cost to transport was approximately $450 & up (depending on the size of your new puppy) which included the following: 

​

• airline charge

• airline-approved crate

• USDA veterinary health certificate & acclimation statement, which also includes a thorough vet exam on your new puppy

When United Airlines lifts their Pet Safe Program (cargo) restrictions, we will able to resume safely shipping worldwide. We don't know what they will be charging. Prices will vary considerably, depending on your location and your country's import requirements. 

​

We will not let a puppy leave our care until we feel the puppy is ready to travel, no exceptions.
​This may come at a great inconvenience to you, but the health of our puppies is paramount!
​Please consider this when making your travel arrangements!
