With regards to cost of jabs and health checks, that depends on the vet you use.
I can see if I can dig out my websites and info tomorrow if you like and can post them up on here.

Re: Pets moving with you.
We used Golden Arrow shippers in shropshire. As regards to the jabs, our dog and cat were up to date anyway so didn't require any cost for that, we just had to pay for the blood test on the dog. Make sure the vet doesn't give your dog the lepto vaccine. Ours had had it in Nov 04 in his routine vaccinations and had blood test in Apr 05, luckily it was ok but usually if they have had this vaccine it shows up as a positive and they have to be re-done and then they could be refused.
Total cost to ship one dog medium sized lurcher and one cat was about £2.5k Uk end and £600 quarantine costs. It all depends on the size of the dog.

I used Airpets (www.airpets.co.uk I think if not try .com) near Heathrow, they handled all the paperwork and vet stuff etc, came to £1100 for two cats and then $960ish at this end for a month in quarantine.
Both mine had their normal annual jabs up to date before the move and for cats no extra ones were required although they recommend the FIV jabs here as there are quite a few feral cats about and there is a high incidence of FIV among them.
All the info regarding paperwork, regulations etc is on the AQIS (Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service) website, if you google AQIS, I think it is something like www.aqis.gov.au

We brought two dogs over in January (Border Collie and a small mongrel) vet bills, transportation costs, and quarantine fees gave us little change for £4,000.
Try giving Golden Arrow a ring tel 01588 680240 they have a good reputation and can give you a leaflet explaining the rules and regulations. Also look at http://www.affa.gov.au/content/outpu...516B834217B7F8
