Hi blobbly1000, thanks for that...I have decided to go with jetpets so hearing this from you has made me feel better. So far, so good!

I'm in the same position, same age and circumstances, ie no kids, and I have decided to return home to be closer to mum and family, after 27 years! I'm too a little worried about work, but I'm sure something will turn up. It's taken me nearly two years to come to this decision, in the end I knew if I didn't do it I would regret it. Only another 5 weeks and I'll be home.....I'm looking forward it. Good luck with your decision and go with your heart.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Hi all, can anyone help me make a decision here. I'm returning to the UK next month and whist I've got everything sorted out for me, I'm struggling on making a decision on a pet carrier for my shih-tzu dog. I've had 5 quotes, the money isn't the problem, it's trying to pick the right one. We are currently in Perth, but because of his breed (considered high risk) there are only two airlines that will take him, Qantas & Emirates, but Emirates won't take them between April &n October, so it has to be Qantas, which again, isn't really the problem. Depending on which carrier I use, he has to fly to either Sydney or Melbourne, stay overnight, then fly to Dubai, stop when they refuel, they don't take them off the plane, then onto Heathrow. It's such a long flight for the wee boy! He's 11 years old.

I've got down it to two, Jetpets & Pet Carriers, both companies have great recommendations on their website....they all did actually, but they're not going to put in the bad ones are they?!...I emailed them all with questions, back and forth...not one of them picked up a phone to talk to me, which I find a bit disturbing, what has happened to customer service? You would think that they would know how much of an emotional thing this is to do, that they would pick up the phone to assure you, talk through it with you....especially if they want the business!

Anyway, has anyone transported their beloved pet home with either carrier and how was the experience? I would really appreciate any comments, I know each experience can be different and I'm sure both companies look after the pets, but just actually hearing from someone would be wonderful. He's my best friend and I only want to make the best decision for him.

Thanks heaps!
