They then take her to Heathrow and another check is completed. Sje will then fly to Australia and be picked up at the other end by an import type person and be inspected by another vet - they will then take her to kennels for 30 days.

The Company in Bristol will give me a full timescale of what to get done and when so I will not have to worry about any of it!!! £1,803.00.

The extras on top are for the other end - they will book the import stuff, but I will have to pay for it - and the kennels on top too.

The price includes vet inspections and jabs etc.

Has anyone else any experiences or thoughts on this??

Angie
sounds like a good price...crazy but good!, does anyone know of a good company anywhere in kent...

Our quote for one dog (staffordshire bull terrier) and one cat (large fluffy) is £2238. This includes the necessary permit but doesnt include for kennels in Aus. How does that compare to any other quotes? C x

We used Pinehawk Kennels who charged £2,250 IIRC for 2 Staffies... You can probably save money by sorting the permits out yourself... Very simple form to fill in and send to Canberra...

That seems a good price. We have 5 dogs and it looks like we will only be taking 3 with us (one is quite ill and the other will be 9 when we move). I have just had a quote for the 3 setters I want to take costing £7355 with Animal Airlines - I was budgeting for around £2000 each so had a bit of a shock. Waiting for quotes to come back on 5 other companies but if anyone knows of one in sussex/surrey area please let me know.
