Which airlines take sheltie dogs from UK to Melbourne?

We want to fly on the same plane as our 2 shelties & need to find which airlines fly from London to Melbourne with only 1 stop?

There will be a few. Your best bet is to contact a couple of pet shippers and discuss with them directly as to the ins and outs and best routes depending on the time of year etc.

There can be lots of issues to be taken care of in moving dogs and I would strongly advise you speak to a good specialist shipper such as Pet Air who have a very good reputation and are ran by vets.

It's quite a complicated process we used Golden Arrow to ship our Shar Pei there was only one stop and he was picked up by quarantine staff in Melbourne

Thats part of the procedure to get them into quarantine

As verystormy said I would also recommend a company to ship your Shelties as the process needs to be followed step by step

i was so happy we chose golden arrow as our uk vet lost a crucial blood sample at the last minute but Golden pulled out all stops and got him sorted and out on time

There are 2 main options really.

Emirates - fly with a long stop at Dubai

Qantas - fly with a short stop at Dubai.

But deffo talk to a few shippers and chat through options with them.
