Shipping

At Grandpa Doberman Puppies, your puppy’s safe and comfortable transition to their forever home is our top priority. We understand that welcoming a new Doberman puppy is a special moment, and we strive to make the process as seamless, secure, and stress-free as possible—no matter where you are located within the United States.


Safe, Professional Shipping Arrangements

We offer safe, reliable shipping services for families who cannot pick up their puppy in person. Our shipping process is designed to ensure the health, comfort, and safety of every puppy throughout their journey.

  • Experienced Pet Transport: We partner with licensed, reputable pet transport companies familiar with the best practices in transporting puppies. Your Doberman will travel in climate-controlled conditions with plenty of care and comfort.
  • Direct Flights or Ground Delivery: Whenever possible, we arrange for direct flights to major airports, minimizing travel time. For closer destinations or upon request, we also provide ground transportation, ensuring your puppy is never left unattended.
  • Personalized Travel Crate: Each puppy travels in an airline-approved, comfortable travel crate, which is yours to keep. The crate includes soft bedding and a favorite toy for added comfort and reassurance.

Pre-Travel Health and Documentation

Your Doberman puppy’s well-being is carefully attended to before travel:

  • Health Certificate: All puppies travel with a veterinary-issued health certificate confirming they are healthy, up-to-date on vaccinations, and fit for travel. This certificate is required by both airlines and ground transport services.
  • Travel Preparation: We acclimate puppies to their crates and provide familiar bedding and toys to reduce stress.

Shipping Scheduling and Process

After you reserve your puppy:

  1. Scheduling: We coordinate with you to select the best date and location for delivery. Most puppies are ready for shipping at 8–10 weeks of age, depending on weaning and vet clearance.
  2. Confirmation: Shipping options, costs, and details are fully discussed and confirmed with you prior to booking.
  3. Continuous Updates: You will receive updates and tracking information as your puppy travels, as well as instructions on what to expect at arrival.

Pickup Option

We encourage families who are able to pick up their Doberman puppy in person at our location. Meeting your puppy face-to-face offers the best transition and allows us to answer any questions in person.


Cost of Shipping

Shipping costs vary depending on destination, travel method, and airline/ground delivery fees. We provide a clear, detailed quote before finalizing any arrangements, with no hidden or unexpected costs.


Arrival and Next Steps

On arrival day, please:

  • Pick Up Promptly: Puppies should be picked up from the airport or delivery location as soon as possible for comfort and safety.
  • Health Check: While your puppy travels with a health certificate, we recommend a wellness check with your veterinarian within 72 hours of arrival.

Our Promise

We are committed to providing ongoing support before, during, and after your puppy’s journey. If you have questions about shipping options, logistics, or how to prepare for your new Doberman puppy’s arrival, please contact us! We are here to ensure this important milestone is safe, positive, and filled with excitement for you and your new companion.
