Cavies
can be shipped by various airlines. Their prices, rates, and requirements vary.
If QuickPak is not available to your nearest airport, other services that
we can use include Delta, Northwest, and Alaska/Horizon cargo services. Delivery
to your home is not available, you must pick your shipment up at the airport,
or at the airline's cargo facility. Health
certificates are usually not needed for QuickPak but may be required by other
cargo services. Small shipments
are sent in small, secure, airline-approved, "Pet Taxi" type carriers.
Larger shipments are sent in sturdy, airline-approved metal wire carriers manufactured
by KW cages. To help you estimate
