Importing My Dog?

[UK2Perth]

I know that's where Bruce was and we went to pick him up there. I didn't see many kennels and am just asking for online quotes at the minute thanks x

Hi The Bradburns,

It's a nightmare, they have to have blood tests, rabies injections and a microchip fitted. There is a 5 months waiting list to book them in quarantine at the other side so it may delay our departure! They need an import permit to take them to Oz. Look at www.agis.gov.au for more info. It will cost around £1500 - £2k to ship him I rekon

We shipped our Rottwieller over here, the cost for the shipping was 2700 pounds. (The cost depends on the size of the animal). It didnt include the quarentine cost once over here and the cost for the blood tests, rabies injection etc. I think the cost for the 30 day quarantine was about $650 which you have to pay once you are here.

Hope this helps.

Just recieved a letter from Golden Arrow, dogs booked on flight on 8th Dec and will arrive in Sydney 10th December.
We dont arrive in Sydney til 4th Jan which means we have 4 days to find somewhere to live that excepts pets or they'll have to stay in kennels.
Oh well at least there must be a place for them in quarentine which is good news.

Hi Sam,

At least your dog is booked in sooner rather than later which must put your mind at ease. My OH had 2 days to find a rented property which accepted dogs which was available to rent straight away and it's nice which is good! Would you mind passing me the contact details for Golden Arrow please as I can't seem to locate them on Google? Ali, will check out 'pets on the move' as well thanks chuck x

They dont have a web site & they dont take plastic either!!

I'm at work at the moment but I'll sort it out tonight.

hi all,
We have just bought our 2 dogs over with pets on the move they charged us 3200.00 pound and picked up at our house. They went to Sydney which is large so not much notice needed although others are alot smaller so need notice. We were then charged for the quarantine this end about 700.00 pound and then had to arrange a flight from Sydney to sunshine coast. Pets on the move gave us their agent here who arranged the flight about 450.00 pound so tatal 4200.00 pound for 2 dogs.
Before hand you need to get the import permits and injections and blood tests done at specific times an d then a vet cert within 96 hours of flying. You do not need rabies.
We found it quite stressful because of problems with boosters etc ( look me up and read my posts) but i can say it was well worth it in the end . They arrived well and good.
Just make sure if you leave your dog in kennels before you go you need to make sure you have someone to do all the tests at the vet at the right time. Also check with you pet agent if the cost includes delivery from kennels in oz to your new home as alot do not so you will need like us to pay extra once here.
Anything specific anyone wants to know just ask and i will help if i can.
Good luck
Yvonne

I'm aware I need a pet import pass and have an application form to complete but that's about it! By the way if anyone is thinking of exporting their pets there is a waiting list of 5 months!
