Hi,
I paid $275 but my kennel is 14kg and my dog 34kg We go 9th April (or not if I have got this wrong with the weights!) So the cost of moving our airedale has just dropped from £737 to $275 :D Thanks again everyone for posting their experiences, it really helps. |

I would be grateful for any recommendations of good and reasonably priced Intl pet transport companies from UK to Alberta, Canada. I might require some boarding of my dog prior to transportation so that should e included if possible.
The company is called Pet Air UK, web address www.petairuk.com. The woman who i dealt with was called Jackie. Her contact details are: Jackie I'anson PetAir UK Travel Consultant Direct Tel: 01725 551032 OfficeTel: 01725 551124 Fax: 01725 551206 E-mail: [email protected] Here are the different packages they do, Our Silver quote includes the following: Airline ticket with Air Transat from Gatwick to Calgary Canada Airline surcharges (Handling / Security / War Insurance / Fuel / Airway Bill / Transit Fees) Custom made PetAir UK wooden IATA approved travel container (see below cm) Export customs entry Airport visit on the day of travel and check-in The Gold service also includes: Collection from home postcode SK postcode Overnight stay with us Application for DEFRA paperwork Pre-travel veterinary health examination Fitness to fly certificate (Vet completed document) Acclimatisation Declaration (Vet completed document) Completion of DEFRA paperwork Transport to the airport on the day of flight Check-in We went for the Gold service and all we had to do was arrange for them to pick up the animals, everything else was taken care of. We didn't get the Rabies vaccination for our animals, they will say you don't need one, but we had a bit of hassle at customs so i would say to get it done! We did a lot of research for our animals and found these were the cheapest. We have two cats and a very large dog which at the time was 40+kg. The prices of ours (so you know what to expect) We can provide the above services for a total cost of: Silver £1462.10 and Gold £2165.10 (VAT not applicable as destination is outside EU). Obviously it all depends on weight! Also we had them build us the crates as then there is no way they can get refused ad they have to be accepted by the airline! Hope this helps |

Re: Question about Pet Transport UK to Canada
We thought all was sorted for our dogs - however we went to Vets yesterday and the receptionist asked us about an export certificate. Did anyone who took their animals themselves need one of these?
Don't remember needing one last time, the reason she was asking was that she had just filled one in for a dog traveling to Turkey. Does Canada need one? Thanks R |

Re: Question about Pet Transport UK to Canada
You only need a DEFRA if you are not having your pet inoculated against rabies. You can also choose not to have it inoculated nor get a DEFRA but pay a higher import fee.
