Default taking dog to nz on a vistors visa?

Hi,

We are planning to to NZ on 1st december, subject to our house selling etc,
Hubby has a job but we are going over on a visitors visa and going to arrange work visa out once we arrive,

Has anyone taken their pets/dog to new zealand while entering on a visitors visa or are we going to encounter problems?

any info greatly appreciated,

We brought our pets over no problems. Your problem will be if you want to go back to the UK....six months jail for your dog. Due to the temporary nature of your visitors visa, I guess, this is more likely.

No one asked me about my situation. Just make sure you make it permanent, £2K is an expensive holiday for a mut.

Where are you going. Some areas seem more dog friendly than others. Wellington was a real turn off from a dog point of view. Napier and Nelson are very good. Loads of walking in West Auckland

Smile info on dogs in NZ??

Hi there! I'm new here so I am sooo pleased to meet you all!!

On the subject of taking dogs to NZ....I would really appreciate any advice on dog-friendly areas (I was wondering what the attitude to dogs was over there as I have 2 + 2 cats - this could get expensive!!).
We are thinking of moving to The Bay of Plenty so any info would be wonderful!!!
Thanks!
