Safe Journeys, Joyful Arrivals: Bringing Your Batista Cocker Home

The Journey Matters as Much as the Destination

The moment you’ve been waiting for—when your Batista Cocker Spaniel puppy finally enters your life—should be wrapped in excitement, not anxiety. From the second your puppy is ready to leave our home until the instant they settle into your arms, every detail of their journey is orchestrated with meticulous care, professional expertise, and deep compassion.

At Batista Cocker Spaniels, we understand that this isn’t just a delivery—it’s a life-changing transition for both you and your new companion. Your puppy isn’t a package to be shipped; they’re a precious soul embarking on their greatest adventure yet.

And we treat them accordingly.

Before the Journey: Preparing Your Puppy for Success

🩺 Medical Excellence & Travel Readiness

No Batista puppy travels until they’re completely prepared—physically, emotionally, and developmentally.

Pre-Travel Health Protocol:

• Comprehensive veterinary examination within 72 hours of departure
• Complete vaccination series appropriate for their age and travel requirements
• Thorough parasite prevention including deworming treatments
• Microchip implantation with your contact information pre-registered
• Official health certificate issued by our licensed veterinarian (required for all interstate travel)
• Wellness assessment confirming they’re calm, healthy, and ready for the journey

Age & Development Standards:

• Puppies travel no earlier than 8-10 weeks old—ensuring they’re weaned, confident, and emotionally stable
• Early neurological stimulation and socialization prepare them for new experiences
• Crate training and positive transportation exposure begin weeks before departure
• Travel timing is chosen based on your puppy’s individual temperament and readiness

We never rush. Your puppy leaves only when they’re truly ready to thrive.

The Batista Difference: Love in Every Detail

Other breeders might view shipping as a logistical hurdle. We see it as a sacred responsibility.

Because the journey sets the tone for everything that follows.

A puppy who travels in comfort, safety, and care arrives ready to bond, trust, and thrive. A puppy who experiences stress, fear, or neglect during transport starts their new life at a disadvantage.

We refuse to compromise.

Every mile your Batista puppy travels is a reflection of our values:

• Excellence over convenience
• Safety over speed
• Compassion over cost-cutting
• Your peace of mind over our bottom line
