8 week old puppies
USDA requires that all airlines wait until puppies are at least 8 weeks old to fly.
The puppies are a little bigger and therefore physically able to handle the modest amount of time that they won't have access to food or water.
Airlines won't allow a puppy to fly if the forecast is too hot or too cold. There is quite a range of acceptable temps. An 8 week old puppy is able to handle the temperature fluctuations that may occur in flight.
If you feel strongly that you'd like the puppy to be a little older before you get the puppy, you may contact us to make arrangements.
