Taking dog with us
Anyone taken their dog with them from Heathrow to St Johns with Air Canada. I was going to use airpets or similar but just wondered if easier to do on our own.

Re: Taking dog with us
I didn't think Air Canada allowed you to do it yourself. I might be confusing the airlines, it's 3 years since we did it. But if it is allowed, it was very easy. Just very weird to see your dog, in her crate, strapped to a pallet and on the front of a forklift heading to the warehouse... :unsure:

They even picked our dog up from our home 2 days before we flew (Heathrow - Toronto). It wasn't cheap but it was one less big stress at a very stressful time and the dog arrived in Canada healthy and happy (and didn't even soil his crate!) |

Sorry, I keep seeing this thinking it says "Talking dog with us" and wondering why there aren't more replies...

We did it ourselves with Air Canada from Heathrow to Vancouver. It was relatively straight forward. Air Canada website does have a section on travelling with animals. They don't take them as excess baggage from mid June to mid September.

Re: Taking dog with us
Will the dog be applying for an LMO thereby becoming a Temporary Foreign Woofer?

I think most people give theirs away and get another one here. Much kinder to the animal than flying it out and making it endure the bitter winters and humid summers, when its not used to them.
Me...I'd bring the dog (I brought a dog and three cats) ...they don't know humidity or cold, just love and affection...they adapt far better than the rest of us. Best of luck:) |
Re: Taking dog with us
We sorted out everything ourselves so vet trip, crates and booking our cat and dog on the flight. We used airtransat and both pets have settled well and are none the worse for having been on a nine hour flight over here.

Re: Taking dog with us
Air Transat will allow you to take the dog as excess baggage for around £200.

Joining my husband in St Johns after 3 years, might suggest that instead of me finally joining him out there permanently that he trades me in for newer model, I'm not too keen on the bitter winters or humid summers either.:) |
Re: Taking dog with us
We brought our cat and did it ourselves, followed the directions on the Air Canada website and the vet was helpful so all our paperwork was in order.
We got our crate from ebay, it was a varicrate and we measured the cat, who wasn't that helpful in all honesty, at the time. We booked him on the flight with us, it was GBP100 at the time (3 years ago). He came to the airport and a nice AC employee took him from us at the check in desk. It was all straight forward and he was fine at the other end. Good luck with your dog. |
