Decision made the dog is coming - what next?
Hi all
I am sorry to post a new thread, I am sure the answer that I am looking for is here somewhere but for some reason I cannot search. Have never had a problem with searching before but today every key word I enter says there is nothing matching. I even tried the word "help" and even that found nothing!
Anyway, after much discussion as to whether or not we can really afford to take the dog we have decided that we would miss her/and her us so we will go without something else and use the money to pay for her to come with us.
What do I do next? I haven't got a clue where to start.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Could you also please tell me how long they have to be in quarantine for and if they do it in the UK or Australia, we are going to Perth.
Thanks
Mandy

Hi,
do not know too much about this yet but we will be taking our dog with us when we manage to sell our house.
The dogs will need 30 days quarantine in Australia, i am sure there is a quarantine station in Perth you can try googling it (we will need Brisbane so have to use Sydney quarantine).
Your best option would be to find a pet carrier who will quote you and help with all the additional paperwork I have had a quote from http://www.airpets.co.uk/ as we live near to Heathrow they offer a lot of help and advice, your vet may also help with advice.

I am using petair and am very pleased with the service so far. Emails are answered immediately and Bob is just lovely, even when I phone him at home on a saturday morning in a panic (for no reason!).

Thank you for your replies. I have plenty to go on for now.
I am sure there will be more questions along the way.
Thanks again.

Re: Decision made the dog is coming - what next?
Hey all, I considered bringing our dog out but it seems that if we decide to come back(to Ireland) she will have to go into quarantine kennels for 6MONTHS.
Is that the same for the UK?
I feel that this would be very unfair to her as she hates being alone.
Also the cost is another consideration for us.
I know she will miss us but my mum will look after her for us. It breaks my heart to leave her tho'!

Hi
My advice to everyone with a dog is take them, I know its expensive and traumatic, but its so worth it when you have them there and its lots easier to settle with your best pal there to cuddle. One less person to miss. Cant remember who we used now, maybe airpets, but they were fine and my dog was fine and we are so glad we brought her... she loves it here and she even has a Aussie doggie friend now.
Good luck to you all xx

Re: Decision made the dog is coming - what next?
I could be wrong but I'm sure someone mentioned before that if you get your dog the Rabies vaccine before you bring her over here then she will not have to do 6 months quarantine if you decide to go back. Cant see that U.K or Ireland is any different as you can freely take dogs between the two.
