Bringing dog and quarantine
I have a small dog which I want to bring with me to Australia. Does he have to be quarantined anyway despite the fact that he is vaccinated? Where I can read about it?
Thank you.
Thank you.

We've just had a tentative quote for our two rotties, and its over £5k - which only includes 1 day boarding in the UK - way things are looking we'd need decidedly more than that, because of the waiting times at Sydney quarantine.
By the time we add in the extra boarding, the pre-flight vets fees and everything else, it turns into scary money, and as much as I love them (leaving them just wont be an option) I don't fancy 'working' on Lendal Bridge for the next year to pay to bring them <g> (besides, all those 50ps are a pain to count)
Makes it more than likely that me, the kids and the dogs will have to wait in the UK til the house is sold, and Himself will be off to Oz by himself for a few months

.. could I be really stooopid and ask which quarantine centre that is? (I only know them from the city airport name - still just amassing infor)Who did you do your dogs with, or did you self ship?

You say its a small dog, if its a snub nosed breed then Air Japan will fly them and Ryslip are the best company to use.If its not then you'll have no problems with flight companies.
Have a look at www.ryslip.com
www.ladyhaye.co.uk
www.airpets.com
Ive also heard that Green Arrow were a good company to use but have no website.I contacted them 3 weeks ago and they didnt get back to me so as far as im concerned,theyre unreliable.

there is no waiting time in sydney quarantine, the place is huge, on 55 acres of land, it just needs a bit of forward planning to book dog flights, quarantine and your flights to coincide, but thats what the shippers are there for
ours went to Golden Arrow 4 days before they flew, all in with the price,
hope this helps

. i cannot emphasize how much they impressed both my husband (cynic who didnt really want to send her because of cost), and myself. our dog failed her first lepto as well whilst we were on holiday in cyprus. so glad we used them.
