Hi there Tracy
We have recently moved over and brought our dog with us, Nellie a miniature wire haired daschund, costings were about 250 pounds for blood tests and medications in UK, 800 pounds for kennel fees in Oz (they are in quarantine for 30 days) and 250 pounds for flights and extras (she needed Frontline etc when she got to Oz also, although we have a very small dog and I think prices get higher the larger the dog. She did lose alot of weight while in quarantine and was very quiet for a few days after arriving, but has settled well and loves it here (especially in the swimming pool). We had a complication as they have to have blood tests to see if they are immune and do not have leptospirosis or distempter, if the lepto readings are high (due to sniffing mice or rat droppings) they will need another blood test, because of the second blood test she missed her flight and kennel space in Perth and had to fly and do her 30 day quarantine in Sydney, then another 6hr flight back to us in Perth at the end of the 30 days, so it can be quite stressful for all concerned, but worthwhile when you see them again!!
Hope this helps.
