A Quick Note Before You Browse 🐾

Thank you so much for visiting Cedar Wood Farms! Right now a very large number of families are reaching out about puppies, and our communication has fallen behind. I physically can't keep up with every message as quickly as I'd like, and our flight nannies are also stretched thin at the moment.

To keep our five-star rating and make sure every family's experience stays personal, I'm taking a short step back to get caught up. If you've already messaged us, you haven't been forgotten. We're working through every message and will get back to you as soon as we can. Please send just one message on one platform. Duplicate messages slow things down for everyone.

A reminder about flight nanny delivery: Our flight nannies fly standby, so flight times can change. If you choose our $600 flat-rate flight nanny option, please be flexible with your delivery date and time. If you need a guaranteed flight time, a confirmed ticket will need to be booked instead, at an additional cost.

We are so grateful for each and every one of our families, and we truly appreciate your patience during this busy season.

With love,
Mikaela & the Cedar Wood Farms Family
