Spaniels

Pet Travel Specialist in Perth. The guy (Angus) who handles everything from start to finish is a export Vet. He does the worming on the departure day and has nice facilities where they stay on the departure day. He also drops them off personally at the airport and sent us a photo them. i also looked into Jetpets but their call center is over east and you don't speak to the person who handles your dogs. I also didnt like the fact that they have to drive around to get to an export vet for worming as that adds to the stress. They quoted me on Air Malaysia when I believe Air Malaysia does not even ship Spaniels (according to their website). I had a third quote from Dogtainers Perth but their quote was significantly higher then the other two (over $6000). I just felt more comfortable with a Vet handling my dogs and arranging everything from start to finish.

I recently shipped my 2 dogs from Perth to the UK. My dogs are 11 and 12 and one is blind and they did well (probably slept most of the trip). I can highly recommend the Pet Travel Specialist in Perth. Angus is a Vet himself and he drops the dogs off personally at the airport. I am not sure where you are but mine did fly from Perth to Hong Kong and then on to London.

I just moved from Perth to the UK and had quotes from Crown, Pickfords, Kent, Keys Bros and Wridgeways. Crown was the highest quote and Pickfords somewhere in the middle with Keys Bros and Kent the lowest quotes. Pickfords seriously underestimated the m3 in their quote compared to the others so be aware as you have to pay for anything above! Ended up going with Keys Bros who have been very good and couldn't fault them, but have had lots of problems with Britannia who they use in the UK. Britannia charged me an additional $2000 for handling and delivery despite already having paid door-door because the container cannot be unloaded at the house. They also hold your container at ransom until you pay and threaten to charge you more for additional storage if you dont pay! If you are not sure if the container can stop outside your house in the UK I suggest get quotes on how much it would cost you in addition to have it delivered!

Hi Simon, I just moved from Perth to UK with my 2 Spaniels. Some airlines do not allow certain Spaniels (I think Air Malaysia is one of them). Its a very simple process - they only need Rabies at least 3 weeks prior to departure. I also had a fantastic experience with a shipper from Perth who organized everything and it was just under $5000 for both of them. You are not allowed to arrange travel yourself due to aviation security. My dogs went on Cathay Pacific from Perth to Heathrow with a plane change in Hong Kong and we went on same flight. There is no quarantine in the UK and you need to collect the dogs from the animal reception center. Make sure you have a big enough car as they will not hold your sky kennels if you cannot fit them in your car!
