It will cost you lots of money, that bit is true!
The quarantine is 30 days, assuming that there are no problems.

The price varies between companies - some are jets4pets, golden arrow... there are more! The cost of shipping our lab to Sydney is £2000-2500, plus approx $800 quarantine charges, plus some other vets' fees... who knows where it will all end!?

It's a good thing so many people love their dogs so much, as financially it makes no sense to ship dogs - could buy six more out there instead!

Hi, we sent our cat from England. We used a company called Airpets. The service they provide is excellent. We collected our cat from the quarantine station in October and she was fine. I would almost say she's more lively now than she was in the UK. It does cost alot, but they are part of the family!
