That was one of the things I was trying to establish - how much difference using a company made as opposed to doing it myself. $300 (10% of $3000) isn't so bad. Just for example what sort of problems could I run up against myself that a company wouldn't have a problem doing? The paperwork sounds easy enough I'm being told that I have a choice of using a wooden crate that apparently I need a truck to collect (from a location 3.5hrs away) or a plastic crate that although lighter and presumably externally a bit smaller is actually more expensive??? What would one of these wooden crates look like? How do the dogs fair not being able to walk about for more than 24hrs? And what about toileting - they hate to dirty their beds so do they go and get upset or hold on and if so does that cause them trouble?

Hi, I am trying to find out various options for shipping the dog back to the uk. One quote from dogtainers states their fee includes Domestic Freight Charges Veterinary Charges: Final Vet Inspection, Frontline Treatment AQIS Export Paperwork and Health Certificate Lodgement at Brisbane International Airport Purchase of Airline Approved Transport Crate International Freight Charges (Brisbane - Sydney - Dubai - London) Customs / Veterinary Clearance & Fees and Airport Terminal Fees at London Heathrow But they can't break that down at all to me. I am considering doing it myself. Now obviously I need to speak to airline but dogtainers charge $30/kg so I can work from that for now. Presumably that includes the crate. I can speak to an AQIS vet for their charges, easy. What I can't work out is how to find out about fees at Heathrow? Anyone? Scarely enough they didn't know what a third country certificate was..so one us us is misinformed (may be me I know)
