Time2Go Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hi We are moving back to the UK in 3 months after 8 years here. For us it is time. We have 2 large dogs and have completed the relevant vaccinations. We have received 3 quotes so far, all using Emirates and the same flight. The quotes are from JetPets, Dogtainers and All Animal Transport. Can anyone on the forum advise on who they used and how they were treated. Any issues that arose and the ease or otherwise with which they were resolved. We are flying from Brisbane, and going via Dubai, and onto Manchester. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time2Go Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks, we did it from the UK years ago with one of the dogs. This time we are more anxious for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie girl Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hi we just had a quote from dogtainers and also allied pickfords for our toy poodle ..... I would be interested to see who you go with. Both quotes were a lot more than we had anticipated though. We may also be moving back to England in a few months - and also getting the puppy flown to Manchester Exciting and scary all at the same time.

Time2Go Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hi Wasn't aware Allied did dog transport too. Our quotes have ranged from $6000 to $6800 for both dogs. Cost is not a factor for us, more the service provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackboots Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 The person spoke to who flew her two back about 9 weeks ago paid 5, 025 for two dogs ( Dals ) inc three complimentary boarding 3 days before travel .. Inc of all other paperwork etc from Brisbane . Dogtainers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time2Go Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 After a lot of deliberation we have decided on JetPets. Not the cheapest or the dearest, just had that personal touch. Have been told it will be 6150 all inclusive of all fees this end and in Manchester.. We have done the Rabies already with paperwork sorted. We did get discount by using a certain removalist. It is worth asking if any discounts apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imapla Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 We are using jetpets - the service so far has been great - we'll never really know what its like for the poor old pooches to be stuck in a crate for so long but hopefully he will sleep a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time2Go Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 We brought one of our dogs with us originally. She literally bounded off the plane and straight into the car. She suffered no ill effects. I think its true they generally sleep most of the way. Our dogs are fairly chilled anyway and we will explain to them what is happening when we send them off. They do understand!!

darkstone1975 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well I just moved back a month ago, bringing a cat via dogtainers, cant speak highly of them in my case, they fly the pets via Qantas to uk I believe. I think their qoute was somewhere in the middle of the pack if i recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knason Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I used Jetpets for my dog and cat from Sydney to London, very happy with the experience. All organised, relatively stress free on my part!, and they both turned up at Heathrow clean and happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time2Go Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 It is always great to here when they have arrived safe and sound. We are looking forward to getting back. Another new adventure beckons for us and our 2 dogs. Exciting times ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Robinson Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 We are moving back in January 16 and taking our cat and mid sized dog. We were given a quote from Petraveller, Perth to Heathrow for just under $5,000 and from what we have heard that is quite good. Sorry to hijack but anyone have any experience with them at all?
