Tina2 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Those looking to take pets back from Aus to UK will find this a help. https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs Need to dig through for info, I did find that Aus is a listed country so no Quarantine required. Rabies needs to be done at least 21 days prior to departure and day one of the shot is day 0 so at the earliest you need to look at day 22 to travel. Tape worm must be done by a vet 20 to 120 hours before departure and entered into the pet passport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The big issue though is that no airlines will let you transport pets Aus to UK by doing it yourself - they will insist on the use of a company to arrange - such as Dogtainers.

Tina2 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 True very storm and then they can charge a fortune. We used Jet pets from Melbourne to Brisbane and our poor dog was totally traumatised and he is a very clame dog so dont know what went wrong.

Sorry Pat for any confusion, we only used Jet Pets in Aus, havnt moved any pets UK to Aus. Jet pets seemed really good, so I have no idea what happened. I know there was quite a delay between dropping off and going on board and the same at Brisbane quite a delay from getting off the plane and being taken to the freight section. May have been all the noise I have no idea, but he ended up at the vet he was so stressed and he is normally a very calm dog . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 We used Dogtainers and had a full breakdown in costs including the receipt from the airline and Dogtainers actually made a very modest amount from it! In fact, I was surprised by how little. It cost us a total of $3000 including vet fees for his rabies jab. After getting over been very tired for a few days after his trip, he is fine now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina2 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Being tired at the end of the journey is far better than not m aking the journey. I could never consider not taking my dog with me where ever I go. I think people for the UK have a very strong bond with there pets and animals in general which is really nice.
