Comfort and Safety During Your NewDoggy’s Travel Journey
At NewDoggy, we strive to ensure that your dog’s travel experience is marked by comfort and safety, no matter the travel method chosen. Whether your pet is flying, being transported by road, or traveling with a nanny, we prioritize their well-being. We understand that pets are family, which is why we ensure they are well taken care of during their journey. We guarantee that pets are provided with water, comfortable spaces, and a clean environment. If the trip exceeds 8 hours, feeding is included, and every 4-6 hours, the space is cleaned to ensure a pleasant environment for your pet.
Shipping Methods
Three reliable methods transport
NewDoggy offers three main shipping methods for transporting your pet, each designed to ensure their comfort, safety, and timely arrival. Below, we provide detailed information on each option, including the specifics of each travel method and what you can expect during the journey.
Manifested Live Animal Cargo
A safe and reliable air travel option
When your dog is traveling via air, one of the most reliable methods is through Manifested Live Animal Cargo. This means that your pet will be transported as live cargo, ensuring all necessary care and safety measures are taken.
Key Information for Air Travel:
- Safe and Secure Flight Conditions: Your pet will travel in a cargo unit. Airlines provide dedicated, climate-controlled, and pressurized compartments designed to keep canine passengers comfortable and safe throughout the flight. These specialized cargo areas maintain a stable temperature and air pressure, ensuring that your NewDoggy is in a secure and soothing environment. Unlike common misconceptions, these compartments are not the same as regular cargo holds; they are designed specifically for live animals, with regulated airflow and controlled humidity levels.
- Airline-Approved Crates: Every NewDoggy travels in a brand-new, airline-approved crate that meets all safety regulations. These crates are spacious enough for your puppy to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. They also provide proper ventilation and security, preventing unnecessary stress or discomfort during transit. The sturdy construction ensures that your puppy remains safe, even in the unlikely event of turbulence or delays. Each crate is lined with absorbent paper to keep your puppy clean and dry. Since choosing the right travel crate is essential for your pet’s safety and comfort, we have a dedicated page on our website that provides detailed guidelines on airline-approved crates, including size requirements, material specifications, and airline regulations. For more details, please visit our Airline-Approved Crates Guide.
- Flight Duration and Routing: At NewDoggy, we work to minimize flight times for your pet, ensuring they are in the air for as short a period as possible. We choose reputable airlines that are experienced in animal transport, such as Lufthansa, and in cases of layovers, we coordinate with pet hotels to ensure the safety and comfort of your dog during transfers.
Road Delivery
A direct, land-based transporting option
For those who prefer a more direct, land-based method, NewDoggy offers Road Delivery. This method is ideal for transporting pets across Europe and allows us to deliver your dog right to your door.
Key Information for Road Delivery:
- Licensed Transporters: We use licensed carriers authorized to operate within Europe, ensuring that the entire journey adheres to European regulations for animal transport. Occasionally, we partner with professional delivery companies such as ExpressPuppy.com to provide safe and efficient transportation.
- Comfort and Safety: Your dog will travel in a climate-controlled vehicle, whether it is heated or air-conditioned, depending on the season and destination. Just as with air transport, the crate size is a critical factor to ensure your dog’s comfort.
- We offer door to door delivery service to a wide range of countries across Europe:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Northern Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom
Nanny Delivery
Personalized, hand-delivery service.
For the most personalized experience, NewDoggy also offers Nanny Delivery or in other words Hand Delivery. This service is ideal for dogs under 8 kg, as they travel onboard the aircraft with a dedicated nanny who will take care of them throughout the journey.
Key Information for Nanny Delivery:
- Traveling with a Nanny: Dogs weighing up to 8 kg can travel in the cabin, while larger dogs will be checked in as cargo. A trusted nanny will accompany your dog throughout the entire trip or a portion of it. Our nannies are experienced professionals who have been working with pets for many years, and their passion for animals is what sets them apart.
- Nanny Responsibilities: The nanny will handle all aspects of your dog’s journey, including paperwork, customs clearance, and any other necessary formalities. They will ensure your dog is well cared for, from feeding and checking hydration levels, to adjusting crate bedding and providing attention and comfort throughout the flight to help ease any travel anxiety. Regular monitoring and care make a significant difference in making sure that your puppy arrives happy and stress-free.
- Trustworthy Caregivers: At NewDoggy, we only work with reliable, experienced individuals who treat pets like their own family. Our nannies are dedicated, and their care goes beyond just a job—they are passionate about ensuring your pet’s well-being.
Strict Regulations for International Pet Travel
Complying with international travel rules
Each country and airline has its own set of strict regulations for international pet travel, and compliance with these rules is essential for guaranteeing a smooth journey for your dog. When preparing for travel, we make certain that every dog has the correct vaccinations and health certificates required by the destination country. This attention to detail minimizes the risk of any issues at customs or during transit.
What to Expect Upon Arrival
Bringing a new pet home is an exciting experience, and ensuring a smooth transition is essential for their well-being. Here’s what to expect and how to help your new companion settle in comfortably.
Important Preparations
- ISO Standard Microchip: Your pet will arrive with an ISO standard microchip. Be sure to register it at your veterinarian’s office as soon as possible for identification and safety purposes.
- Veterinary Check-up: Schedule a visit with your trusted veterinarian shortly after arrival to confirm their health and discuss any necessary vaccinations or treatments.
Settling In & Adjustment
- Access to Clean Water: Ensure they have constant access to fresh, clean water to stay hydrated and comfortable in their new environment.
- First Steps with Treats: When they relieve themselves in the designated area, reward them with treats and praise. This positive reinforcement helps establish good habits.
- Exploration Time: Allow supervised time to explore the new home. This will help them become familiar with their surroundings and feel more at ease.
- Feeling Safe Outside: If they seem hesitant to go outdoors, provide gentle encouragement and reassurance. Some may need time to feel secure in unfamiliar spaces.
- Patience is Key: The first few days can be overwhelming due to new sights, sounds, and routines. Be patient and offer plenty of comfort as they gradually adjust to their new life.
By following these steps, you can create a welcoming environment that makes your new companion feel safe, secure, and loved in their new home.
