Delivery

Due to Kimberlee's Kennels puppies finding homes all across the United States and even internationally, we understand that not all customers are able to pick up their puppy in person at the Kennel. Because of this, Kimberlee's Kennels does offer delivery via ground and air. We work with wonderful drivers and flight nannies to make this possible.


Delivery by Car:

Kimberlee's Kennels offers delivery up to a (4) hour radius from our kennel. If you are needing to meet via car and the delivery point is over (4) hours from our kennel please contact our office for a custom quote. Kimberlee's Kennels has pre selected public meeting spots where we will conduct puppy drop-off. Our typical rate for ground deliveries is estimated at $100 per hour of drive time. For example, a delivery from the kennel to the Minneapolis-St Paul airport is $250. Pricing may vary when speaking to the Kimberlee's Kennels office due to rising inflation/gas prices.


General Notes:

  • Customer will be given delivery drivers contact info for coordination and meetup.
  • Delivery driver will explain and go over all of your puppies paperwork and health records.
  • Final payment can be paid at time of delivery and can only be paid via cash, check or Venmo. Please confirm invoice prior to pickup to ensure payment is accurate and accepted.

Delivery by Air:

Kimberlee's Kennels offers two options for delivery via air:


  1. Delivery by a Kimberlee's Kennels flight nanny to fly directly to your airport of your choosing. Your puppy will be picked up by our flight nanny here at our kennel and will be in the experienced, safe hands of our flight nanny until they are in yours. Our flight nanny will book the most direct nonstop flight(s) to minimize travel time and stress for your puppy. Customers interested in this option are recommended to reach out at their earliest convenience to receive your custom quote so we have everything ready to go for the puppies departure day. Custom quote must be paid in full prior to booking flights. Cost of puppy must be paid in full prior to puppy departure. If choosing this option Kimberlee's Kennels will assume all responsibility for paying airline fees, providing pet carrier and making sure puppy fits airline requirements to fly.
  2. Delivery by ground to an airport within our delivery radius to meet you to pickup puppy and fly back with the puppy yourself. Customer will be required to pay our standard ground delivery fee to the airport they are flying into. If you select this option you will be responsible for all pet associated airline fees and to check with your selected airline to make sure puppy falls within that airlines requirements for age and weight. Please confirm any and all connecting flight requirements as well. Kimberlee's Kennels will provide flight paperwork, travel bag and can provide airline pet carrier by request. Final payment is recommended to be paid prior to departure but can also be paid in-person to our delivery driver at your airport.


General Notes:

  • All puppies flying via either option will need to purchase a soft sided airline approved puppy carrier. Kimberlee's Kennels sells these for your convenience so please speak with our office for pricing and to get this added to your invoice.
  • Avoid long turn around times for connecting and departing flights to minimize travel time for your puppy, Kimberlee's Kennels recommends direct nonstop flights.
  • Kimberlee's Kennels will provide all required vet paperwork for puppy to fly.
  • Flights need to be booked as closely as possible to puppies graduation date to avoid puppy becoming too large or old for the airline requirements.
  • Our Vet Certification of Health, which enables puppies to fly, is good for only a limited time after the puppies exam. If planning to vacation or delay flight back to customers home state, customer will be responsible for getting the required paperwork to fly if the Vet Certification of Health has expired.
  • Kimberlee's Kennels asks that you schedule flights no later than 10 A.M. CST to allow Kimberlee's Kennels adequate time to prepare puppy and deliver to airport.
  • Kimberlee's Kennels does not ship puppies via cargo and therefore puppies must be transported in the main cabin either with customer or flight nanny.
  • Please do not book flights until speaking with the Kimberlee's Kennels office so that we can confirm puppy will be ready to fly on desired date and time.
