Puppy Transport

No need to chase your tail over puppy travel details - we have it covered

Every puppy deserves a safe, comfortable journey – whether they’re traveling to their new forever home, relocating with your family, or joining you from an interstate adoption. Our specialised puppy transport service provides gentle, professional care for all puppies under 12 months.

A key AeroPets advantage: Through our Virgin Australia partnership, we can transport puppies from just 8 weeks of age – giving you more flexibility than services that require 12-week minimum ages. This means your new family member can come home sooner, during those precious early bonding weeks.

Our certified pet transport specialists understand that puppies need extra attention during travel. From selecting the perfect-sized travel crate to maintaining comfort throughout the journey, we treat every puppy like our own. Whether this is your family’s first puppy or you’re an experienced pet parent, we make the transport process simple and worry-free.

Puppy transport FAQs

Through Virgin Australia, we can transport puppies from 8 weeks of age – younger than many other services. Qantas flights are available for puppies 12 weeks and older. We’ll help determine the best option for your puppy’s specific needs and destination.

Absolutely. Modern pet transport uses climate-controlled, pressurized cargo areas designed for animal comfort. Our experienced team monitors your puppy throughout their journey, and most puppies simply sleep through the flight.

We regularly help families bring home rescue puppies from interstate shelters and foster homes. We can coordinate with rescue organizations and handle all necessary paperwork to reunite you with your new family member.

Yes! We offer complete door-to-door service, collecting your puppy from any location and delivering directly to your home. This service is perfect for families who can’t travel to collect their new puppy.

No, pets don’t travel in the passenger cabin. They fly in the aircraft’s dedicated pet cargo hold, which is temperature-controlled, pressurised, and designed to keep them safe and comfortable throughout the journey.

Our handlers are trained in puppy comfort techniques. We create a calm environment and can discuss vet-approved options for particularly anxious puppies. However, most puppies travel very well and arrive ready to explore their new home.

No toys are allowed as they may be a choking hazard. We recommend items like a blanket or shirt with your scent to provide comfort and reduce anxiety during the trip.
