My Frenchie has now been with us in Sydney for a month!!!! I too was extremely nervous about his journey and I didn't rest from the moment he was collected until the moment I got the email from the Quarantine to say he arrived safely - but he did, and I am over the moon! I watched his flights from start to end on the internet and phone app! We used Airpets - he flew Qantas on the 11th November - Qantas will only fly short nosed dogs during the cooler months to ensure a comfortable journey. I was very happy with the service, Hardy was collected from my friends house on the 10th, everything was explained to my friend about the journey and so on so she felt comfortable letting him go! He was taken to Airpets at Heathrow for a full vet check by qualified registered vets, stayed overnight there before he flew the following evening. For me the only issue was the Sydney quarantine, the kennels are all out in the hot sunshine with no air con - they told us they had to take Hardy to an air conned room a few times to cool him down - no **** sherlock. He had lost a lot of weight when we collected him which was no doubt due to the stress of the heat but we are not fattening him up and he's enjoying his new life here in Sydney! He loves the beach!

Hi Lisamahey, how did you get on importing your dogs?? Did you take the Canada route? I'm curious as currently looking into the process for my own Frenchie......beside myself with worry as to decide on the best option - should he stay or should he go? I'm in Sydney already and he is being looked after by a friend but I miss him so much. Would appreciate any advice.

Hi Kealey, can you please let us know how you got on with importing your French Bulldog? I am currently living in Sydney and making plans to import mine but I am still not 100% sure due to the high risk. I'd be interested to hear how you got on. Thanks!
