The Process

How our delivery works

From the moment you confirm your adoption to the moment your pet arrives at your door, every step is handled with care and full transparency.

01
Processing & Registration

After your adoption is confirmed, we handle all paperwork, health certificates, and regulatory requirements so everything is in perfect order before departure.

02
Specialist Delivery Partner

We work exclusively with reputable, experienced pet transportation companies that follow all safety guidelines and are fully certified to handle live animal transport.

03
Tracking & Transparency

Once registered, a tracking number is issued. You can monitor your pet's journey in real time until they arrive safely at your doorstep — no guessing, ever.

04
Safe & Comfortable Travel

Your pet travels in a comfortable, regulation-approved carrier lined with a fluffy bed of shredded newspaper, a favourite toy, a pig's ear chew, and a scent sock for comfort. Frozen water gradually thaws throughout the journey. Food and feeding instructions are taped to the crate.

05
Customer Support Throughout

We provide continuous communication from departure to arrival. You'll know the exact flight times, any layovers, and can reach our team at any point. Our goal is your complete peace of mind.

Flight Safety

Is flying a pet safe?

This is the most common question we receive — and the honest answer is yes, when done correctly. We only ever book flights on approved, pet-safe airline programmes. Your pet flies in the passenger section of the plane, never in cargo.

As one of our shipping partners told us: "It is better and more comfortable to fly a pet on a 2–6 hour flight than to drive with that pet for 4 hours or more." We believe it — because we've seen it hundreds of times.

Passenger cabin only Airedale are never placed in cargo. They travel in the passenger section of the plane alongside dedicated pet nannies.
Same air as the pilot Your pet breathes the same pressurised, climate-controlled air as every other passenger on board.
Most direct route selected We always book the most direct flight available — we know every layover, every departure time, and share that with you.
100% safe arrival record Every single pet we have ever shipped has arrived safe, sound, and ready to meet their new family.

"When we book a flight for a pet it is only on safe, approved airlines that follow pet-safe programme guidelines. The pet will have the same air as the pilot, and someone will be there to care for them on board. We never fly Airedale in cargo — they travel in the passenger section together with pet nannies until delivery is complete."

Same-Day Arrival

Your rescue pet will arrive the same day it is shipped — usually within a few hours of departure. We always select the most direct flight available and will provide you with exact departure and arrival times.

What's in the Travel Crate

Each crate contains a big fluffy bed of shredded newspaper for nesting, a pig's ear chew, a favourite toy, and a sock with a familiar scent to help your pet feel calm and secure. Frozen water is included so it gradually thaws throughout the journey. Food and feeding instructions are taped to the top.

Health Certificates & Paperwork

All health certificates, vet records, vaccination documentation, and regulatory paperwork are completed by our team before shipping. Your pet arrives fully documented and ready for a smooth handover.

We Stay in Touch

From the moment your pet departs to the moment they arrive, our team remains contactable. We know the exact flight details, any layovers, and the tracking number — all of which we share with you in full.
