How much!! to export pet dog
I have been busy on the phone today finding out exactly how much it will cost to export our pet dog to Perth. it has come out at the grand total of £2098! Am i being stingy or is that a ridiculous amount of money? Have any of you out there recently exported your dog and if so did you find it was this amount, this includes his quarintine fees in Perth. Any advice or info will be greatly received. suzanne

Got a quote for our dog from AIRSUPPLY SHIPPING AGENTS in Middlesex
For everything other than the blood tests and general; vaccinations at this end for £1600 that included Manchester to London to Melbourne and quarantine

Re: How much!! to export pet dog
It all depends how much you love your pooch!?
Can I be totally contoversial and express my point of view?
Well the way I see it is you chose to buy a dog and when you did that you made a commitment to take care of your dog/ cat for life - you wouldn't leave a member of your family behind if their seat on the plane cost too much would you?!(at least I hope you wouldn't
)
That dog never asked for you to buy it the least you can do is take it with you to the next part of your life in Australia no matter what the cost - I agree its an expensive thing to do but it is a sacrafice of choosing to relocate to the other side of the world.
Think about it,

I am new to this site and didn't realise until i put my thread in that this topic has been widely discussed before. It has been a saviour at a time when things are beginning to get on top of me! we are so close and yet still feel so far away from our new life. I think perhaps i was in a state of shock and acted a bit impulsively!
I think your quote sounds about right - Poppy my dog is a medium sized border collie x - Our quote was for 1994 pounds but I have to pay for blood tests, vaccs and quarantine on top of that so I reckon i'm looking at at least 2500 pounds all in - more expensive than me and my hubbie Marcs 2 one way flights and 4 night stopover in Singapore put together!
And don't worry about asking Q about pet shipping costs - just because its been covered before dosen't mean you can't ask again to get a more up to date view. It could be worthwhile also looking at old threads on this too - lots of info out there.
So are you taking the dog then

Seriously though, is it fair to put it through the stress of being shipped out 12000 miles? When you could find it a loving home here?

Hi Suzanne
Easiest way is to go to button near top of forum "Search this forum" I think it is, put in pet shipping and it should bring them up.
