Hi all,
We are planning to move to Melbourne in September this year and want to take our small dog
with us. He is a small Jack Russell.
Does anyone have any web page links to reputable pet carriers in the UK?
Thanx

We are planning to go out to Sydney next month, we contacted several companies and have
decided on Golden Arrow Shippers, this was due to their knowledge of the process.
We are taking a german shepherd and a labrador, it isn't cheap, will cost us about £3500
to take the two.
Their phone number is 01 588 680 240 and they are based in Shropshire.
If you keep in touch, we will let you know what happens.
Hope this helps

Hello, I migrated from the United States to Australia a year ago with my Pug dog. It was
an extremely tiring and expensive experience. I don't know of any carriers from the UK but
I can tell you to be careful with them. There are a lot of things that you can do on your
own if you just follow the checklist that quarantine provides for you. You have to do
everything way ahead of time and plan very carefully. With us the problem was that the USA
has rabies and they don't over here. We planned way ahead of time (1 year) to make sure my
dog had all the necessary tests and vaccines they require which are a lot. That way she
was only required to stay the minimum (30 days) in quarantine. The whole process for me
came to about US$4,000. The largest amount given to a pet carrier that robbed us, we payed
him about US$2500 just for transportation. It was horrible, we had to remind him all of
the time about things and he was very careless. Be careful with the companies. We paid
AU$700 for the 30 days Chelsea had to be quarantined in Perth. Once my dog got here the
people at the quarantine were extremely nice, they allowed us to visit Chelsea everyday
except on the weekends because it was closed. As a dog owner who adores her dog as if it
was a child it was very painful emotionally for the dog and for us. The first day was very
sad to see her there, it looks like a prison. However, the staff treat them with lots of
love and they even become attached to them. That relaxed me a lot because I knew that she
was being treated right. My best advice is to plan ahead, have money available, research
the pet carriers, be prepared for very stressful moments and at the end it will all be
worth it. If I can be of any further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. Good Luck!!

Migrating dog from US to Australia
Hi,
I saw your old post and I'm hoping to contact you. I'm planning to migrate from Boston to Perth soon with my dog and kitty and I'd really like to speak with someone who has already gone through it all. I'm in contact with a Pet Transport service but I'm thinking I might save some money by doing it all on my own.
Please email me. I'm at [email protected]
Thanks very much...
