you part way to reduce your drive time when it is ready to go home.

We choose flight times for the shortest layovers and least stress on
the puppy. They fly in pressurized and temperature controlled cargo
holds. Summer heat is the biggest hurdle. Early morning flights are the
key.
We deliver the pups to Oklahoma City Airport, two hours before their
scheduled flight and stay at the airport until they leave. We call
you
when the flight departs and track their progress via the internet. So there are no surprises.
We have never had a problem flying anywhere. Occasionally a flight is
postponed because of weather. But the airlines get very high marks and
treat our pups as though they are their family pets.
