What determines the cost of Brittany shipping

Here's what you need to know about safely transporting your Brittany.

Mode of transportation

Time ⏱⏱⏱

Ground and air travel have different associated costs. Flying is typically the fastest option, but also the most expensive and taxing on your pet.

rating
Travel distance

The further you need to transport your pet, the more it'll cost. If you're using ground transportation, you'll have to factor in fuel costs, lodging, meals on the road and wear-and-tear on your vehicle. These costs are applicable whether you drive the pet yourself or you hire a transporter through CitizenShipper. Airlines charge more for longer plane rides as well. This is due to the cost of fuel and the need compensate pilots and flight attendants.

rating
Pet size

Smaller pets are easier – and less expensive – to transport. If you’re flying your Brittany, they’ll need to travel in the cargo hold if they’re over 20 pounds. You’ll also need to buy a USDA-approved crate, which can cost around $200. With ground transport, it’s easier for drivers to accommodate small pets.

rating
Health clearance and travel equipment

The first step to transporting your Brittany is ensuring they’re healthy enough to travel. Most species require a vet-issued health certificate to cross state lines. This will cost $50 to $300. You’ll likely need to purchase some equipment too – such as a crate and travel supplies.

Brittany: The Energetic Companions

Origins and Temperament

With roots stretching back to the French province of Brittany, the cheerful Brittany breed was originally bred as gun dogs, renowned for their bird hunting prowess. These spirited canines are known for their boundless energy, intelligence, and keen sense of companionship. Due to their active nature and social inclinations, Brittanys can find travel stressful if their physical and mental stimulation needs are not met. Thoughtful preparations for their journey will ensure that these friendly furballs arrive happy and healthy at their destination.

Size and Physical Needs

Brittanys typically stand between 17.5 to 20.5 inches at the shoulder, weighing between 30 and 40 pounds. As highly energetic dogs, they thrive on plenty of exercises and open space. When transporting a Brittany, it is essential to consider a carrier size that provides enough room for them to stand, turn, and lie down comfortably. Regular stops for physical activity are a must to accommodate their zest for life.

Common Health Considerations

These robust canines can experience health issues like hip dysplasia and ear infections. Ensuring they are current with vaccinations and having an up-to-date health certificate is crucial when planning for travel. In addition, being proactive about joint care and maintaining ear cleanliness is advisable to prevent discomfort on the road.

How to prepare your Brittany for transport

At CitizenShipper, we pride ourselves on making pet transportation a breeze. However, there are things you can do ahead of time to make your best friend’s trip safer and more comfortable.

Talk to your veterinarian

Your pet’s safety is number one – that’s why checking in with your vet before finalizing any travel plans is essential.

Can’t make it to the vet’s office in time? Conveniently video chat with a qualified veterinarian at FirstVet – one of our amazing partners.

Here are the questions you’ll want to ask your vet:

  • Is my pet healthy enough for transport?
  • Is my pet up to date on their vaccines?
  • Is my pet’s microchip still in place and scannable?

Health and Vaccination Records

Gather all current health and vaccination documents for your Brittany. This includes a certificate of veterinary inspection and proof of rabies vaccination. Keep these easily accessible during transport, as they may need to be presented at any time.

Identification and Tracking

Fit your Brittany with a securely fastened collar that includes identification tags displaying your contact information. Prior to travel, ensure that their microchip information is updated, and consider the use of GPS devices for additional reassurance of their safety.

Comfort Items and Familiar Scents

To ease the stress of travel, include items such as a favorite blanket or toy, imbued with the scent of home. Familiar smells can have a calming effect and offer psychological comfort throughout the trip.

Essential pet transport travel supplies include:

  • Food, bowls and fresh water
  • Collars and leashes
  • Waste bags
  • Medication
  • First-aid supplies
  • Any travel documents
  • A secure, USDA-approved travel crate

Traveling to a new place is exciting but stressful for your pet. Pack their favorite toys, a bed or a comfy blanket to help them enjoy their journey. Familiar items remind them of home and will soothe their anxiety.

Tailored Travel Tips for Brittany

Managing Anxiety and Stress

Mitigate travel nerves by bringing your Brittany's favored chew toys or incorporating a doggy anxiety vest if required. Familiarize them with the travel carrier in advance and consider pheromone sprays or soothing music to create a relaxing travel space.

Exercise and Bathroom Breaks

Schedule regular stops for exercise and play to help a Brittany expend energy and relieve themselves. Aim for a break every 2-3 hours to keep them comfortable and prevent restlessness.

Temperature Control and Hydration

Maintain a comfortable and consistent temperature inside the vehicle, taking into account the seasonal climate. Provide ample water to keep your Brittany well-hydrated throughout the journey, avoiding excessive heat or cold exposure.

Monitoring Health Post-Travel

Observe your Brittany closely post-travel for any signs of illness or distress. If you note any unusual behavior or symptoms, consult a veterinarian promptly to ensure their wellbeing.
