Default transporting pets

I am going to be moving to Perth soon and have been quoted £2,700 to ship my dog out....is that a little expensive or a good price. If anyone knows anything on the subject the help would be much appreciated

Depends on the size of dog I would assume, I shipped my two cats over £1100 all in apart from quarantine fees in Aus.

I used Airpets near Heathrow and they seemed to do a good job.

Hi Mark
we arrived in Perth almost 2 weeks ago, We used Golden Arrow Shippers to transport our Jack Russle costing £1200 and the another $700 for the quarantine depends on what size your dog is to how much it will cost.
Thoroughly recommend Golden Arrows ....9 days and counting for the day we can pick our pooch up

Goodluck

Claire
