I had a grown dog shipped from Iowa to California. I think it was more stressful to us than the dog. We went to Iowa and lined his carrier with papers and a blanket, a couple toys, and food and water. And my old vet gave me doggie downers. When the dog came off the plane 9 hours later, the dog was up and happy and glad to see us. I'll never know whether he slept or not, but he arrived just fine.
And airlines have rules about temperature conditions and have a special cargo space for animals.
Happy wishes for the pup!

we've never had any problems shipping a puppy or receiving a puppy via air travel.
Yes they might be a little scared when you pick them up and take them outside (they won't let you take them out of the crate in the airport) to go to the bathroom. They snap out of it pretty quick.
Please tell me it's not a pug, doberman or puggle or a so called miniature beagle!

it will probably be quite stressful on the dog, i have brought my jack russel shih tzu with me on a plane where she went under the seat which was less stressful for her... if it is at all possible i recommend that you go and pick up the puppy, it will lower the stress levels. not too mention the fact that afterwards the puppy has to get used to new people and a new home

some airways have an embargo on farm animals transport in the iciness so which you're able to desire to examine with the single you employ and be specific they're going to settle for the animal. you need to purchase an airline authorized provider for the dogs. (for a dogs that length the airways frequently have them obtainable yet you pays greater for them). The airways assist you to appreciate the place you need to pass to deliver the dogs and to get it on the different end.

Yes he will most likely be scared, it also can get very cold, so I recomend putting a blanket in the cage. Also he might be bumped around a little bit. So it might wimper. I recomend if you can finding a way to take him up with you personally.

The vet can sell you some pet medication (maybe sleeping pills) to help calm your dog before and during the flight. I did this once when I flew with my dog. When I picked her up in the luggage claim area, she was still groggy, but happy to see me.

since it's a puppy, why not go pick him up and fly with him in the cabin?
Well, if you can't do that, I guess he'll be ok...
