Yes, Trupanion costs and deductibles are low and puppies can be accident prone, like children! It doesn't take long to have a hefty vet bill, from something as simple as jumping off the stairs wrong, or eating something that they shouldn't have.

That will somewhat depend on your area, vet and grooming costs, but on average about $75-150/month.

This will somewhat depend on how well you maintain their coat, and keep them free of matting, and also depends on the curl of the coats. Curlier coats will be every 6-8 weeks, straight coats may go up to 10-12 weeks.

When puppies are eight weeks of age.

Our space here is very limited, and we our staff is only our family members, so we don't have the time or space to be able to keep many puppies after 8 weeks, however we understand some circumstances it would be needed. If you request boarding for an extra week, or two at the most, you must have prior approval, and we charge $15/day.

Absolutely! But every dog should be trained properly to obey basic commands, and obviously you should never leave your newborn unattended with your dog.

Puppies receive two rounds of NeoPar, given by us at 4 and 7 weeks, which is a live parvo virus vaccine, and one 5 way round of vaccines given by our vet at 6 weeks. They will still need to complete their vaccinations by your vet at 9, 12 and 15 weeks, then yearly updates after that.

We either use a ground transport company, where your puppy will be in a crate while traveling, but never on the ground. A flight nanny will keep the puppy on the plane with her in a crate and hand deliver to you, you just must be on time and at the airport of your choice. We usually base the decision on which method to use based on distance (if it's more than 6-8hrs driving, it's usually cheaper to fly the puppy), or client preference. You are also welcome to fly into our local airport and arrange to take the puppy back with you, and I'm happy to meet at the airport! We use either a ground transport company or a flight nanny service to get your puppy home safely. With ground transport, your puppy will travel securely in a crate—never placed on the ground—for the entire trip. A flight nanny flies with your puppy in-cabin in a crate and hand-delivers them to you at the airport of your choice. You’ll just need to be on time to meet them upon arrival. We typically decide on the best method based on distance—if you're more than 6–8 hours away, flying is usually the more affordable and efficient option—or based on your personal preference. You're also welcome to fly into our local airport to pick up your puppy yourself, and I'm happy to meet you there!

Usually anywhere from $350-600 for ground transport, and between $475-650 for a flight nanny.
