Shipping Policy – Elegant French Bulldog Puppies

At Elegant French Bulldog Puppies, the safety, comfort, and well-being of our puppies are our top priority. We understand that many buyers are not able to pick up their puppy in person, so we offer safe shipping options to ensure your new family member arrives healthy and happy.

Methods of Shipping

We provide two primary methods for puppy delivery: air travel and ground transportation. The best method depends on distance, timing, weather, and your puppy’s well-being.

1. Air Travel

Air travel is the fastest option for long-distance deliveries. Most small puppies meet airline requirements for in-cabin travel, where the puppy remains with the passenger during the flight. Larger puppies may require cargo travel; however, due to safety and stress concerns, we limit cargo shipping for brachycephalic breeds like French Bulldogs.

Important considerations for air shipping:

• Puppies must have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection issued within 10 days of travel.
• Puppies must be microchipped for identification.
• Puppies must travel in an approved travel crate.
• Air travel may be restricted during extreme weather or holiday periods.

2. Ground Transportation

Ground transportation is a safe and comfortable option for puppies, especially for medium-distance travel. Puppies travel in temperature-controlled vehicles with experienced, licensed, and insured drivers.

Benefits of ground transport:

• More frequent stops for feeding, bathroom breaks, and comfort.
• Reduced stress compared to long periods in an airplane crate.
• Door-to-door service can be arranged for added convenience and peace of mind.

We work with trusted services such as CitizenShipper, which provide certified drivers, insurance, and optional 24/7 veterinary support to ensure your puppy’s safe journey.

Preparation for Shipping

Before shipping, the following steps are required:

• Veterinary check-up and documentation.
• General vaccinations as required by state regulations.
• Familiarization with short car rides to reduce travel stress.
• A secure, appropriately sized travel crate.

Estimated Delivery Times

• United States: 3–4 days
• International: 3–6 days (depending on customs and local regulations)

Please note that delivery times are estimates and may vary due to weather, travel conditions, or unforeseen circumstances.

Buyer Responsibilities

• Shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise agreed.
• Buyers must provide accurate delivery information and remain available to receive the puppy.
• Puppies must be picked up or received promptly to ensure safety and minimize stress.

Our Commitment

Your puppy’s health and safety are our top priority. We carefully vet all transportation options and provide support throughout the journey to make the shipping process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
