Cost of Transporting Pets
Can anyone help or give me the details of some companies that transport animals. I've just had a quote of £3,500 to get one dog to Oman, I thought this would cost me the transport of one horse.
If all goes ahead I need to get 2 dogs and one horse to Oman, any help would be appreciated.

Where are you travelling from? We used Airpets (www.airpets.co.uk) when we left the UK, and Jet Pets (www.jetpets.com.au) when we flew from Australia to come here.
Both were very helpful, and give quotes depending on how much you want them to do (you can sort paperwork, vets check-ups etc which reduces the cost)...
But if you have the stress of moving, it might be worthwhile letting one of these companies deal with the animals so you can concentrate on the rest of the move.

animals used to go as excess baggage and you paid per kg, but that has changed in recent years, as the airlines obviously saw a gap in the market, cost me 50 quid to bring my cat years ago

Re: Cost of Transporting Pets
like arbroath says, it depends on the size of the dog - it's all done by cargo/ volume now on the size of the container
I've just had a quote from UAE to OZ for one cat for Dhs6000/GBP820

We paid about £600 to get two cats to Dubai in 2005. We didn't use a full-service shipping company, we arranged the export permits and other paperwork in the UK ourselves and used Dubai Kennels and Cattery to handle the formalities once they arrived in the UAE.
