    If you need any advice or help just give me a shout. Petair have been amazing with us so far and are helping to keep my anxiety at bay for the flight! Our beloved pooch is flying out this week so we are a little nervous but also very excited to be reunited with her soon as we have been in Oz without her for over 2 weeks now! Good luck with everything

    Ah no way! We are from Chester-Le-Street Like you say the Gold Package is one less thing to worry about as they do basically everything, you just have to take your dog to the appointments at your local vet. Where are you relocating to? Did you get a 189 skilled visa?

    Oh wow, do you? Where are you flying from/to? Thank you, I do feel more relaxed about it than I did, hearing experiences like yours certainly helps. Yes our Labrador is going down to stay with them the day before the flight too. Good luck to you too!

    We fly out 2 weeks before her. It means we wont see her for around a month but we can also get everything ready for her coming home We went for the Gold Package for that reason, however we did take off the collection of our dog. My parents are taking her down to London on our behalf and are going to break up the journey on the way down for our pooch. We live in the North East and it would be over a 5 hour drive added on top of her already long journey. Petair will let you tailor the packages to your needs, they have been brilliant with us so far. They literally tell us when we need to do anything, like make any vet appointments etc. I will keep you updated on her journey

    I have heard nothing but good thing on this forum and from our local vets who have dealt with Petair a few times. I keep telling my dog 'I am coming back for you' ... not that she has any clue! We fly out 3 weeks today! I am getting so excited/nervous! Best of luck with your move!

    We have chose PSS to ship our stuff from chilly Newcastle to Oz, so this is great to hear you had a good experience Can I ask if you took any wooden artwork or ornaments? We have some stuff from Cuba and they haven't really been able to tell us if we can bring it or not. Any help would be great? Also may be a daft question (my brain is fried with planning everything )... we have a collection of beer glasses from around the world and also vodka bottles (empty) they are ok to ship aren't they? Thanks

    We have some wooden photo frames will these need to be treated? Also we have canvas artwork and a wooden ornament from Cuba which we are wanting to bring over to Oz, but no one with PSS seems to be able to tell me whether it is ok to ship... any one here know the score? Finally... are you allowed to bring dog toys or collars/leads? Thanks in advance

    Lovely to hear that you pup is settled now in Oz! Our Labrador hasn't ever been in kennels or a crate either so puts my mind a rest hearing this Did quarantine contact you at all during your dogs stay?

    Thank you for your reply Glad to hear that you pooch had a good journey and got back home safely I didn't even consider jet lag for the dog

    Thank you for the information and responses everyone!

    We have chose Petair to fly our dog to Oz in February. Just a couple of questions I have though and I think this forum could help answer them. Will we get updates along the way, such as when our pooch has their stop over in Dubai? Also can you get updates from the quarantine centre during our dogs stay there? Thank you

    Thank you for your reply It puts me at ease a bit more now. Our girl will be spending time in Dubai as a stop over which they informed us they stay in the crate but will get check on and then she will go to Melbourne quarantine for a minimum of 10 days. Can I ask which company you used? Also did you receive any updates along the way?

    We have a Labrador bitch and she is flying out early next year just after us. We are going with petair and is costing £3250 and then an estimated $2000 on top of that for quarantine fees. Plus £150 in vet bills that weren't included in the quote.

    My husband and I are moving out to Australia at the end of January 2018 and we are taking our beloved pooch with us. We have chosen a travel company to fly her with but I am so nervous for her to fly and the idea of her being in her crate for over 24 hours scares me a little. I would love to hear some people's stories on there pets journey to Oz from the UK just to get more of an idea of the process the dog goes through and how you dogs got on after the flight and quarantine. Thanks in advance.
