Info on dog shipping from Perth to Heathrow
Hi,
we are now three weeks away from returning to the UK from Perth - came on a three year contract, always intended going back.
So far things have gone easily with the dog. Average sized Beagle.
Was already micro-chipped - needs to be done before rabies jab.
He had his rabies vacination a year ago, $80.
Bloods taken 3 weeks later, $250.
All clear certificate received about a month later.
He was then free to travel 6 months after that.
Made a lot of enquiries, all were roughly at the $2800 range, within $100 either way.
Have chosen Sherae Petlink, on recommendation and gut feeling after talking to them.
They are going to collect him from our house (Western Suburbs), board him a few days, do the vet requirements, all the paper work and fly him out a week later to arrive after we are back home and have the furniture out of storage.
They have provided a full break down of cost, total of $1377 for vet inspection, import and export fee's, transit fee, Heathrow clearing fee etc - all the unavoidable costs.
Then there is $1353 in flight and handling.
If you are looking at saving money, this would be where you'd do it, arranging your own flight and vets and doing your own paper work.
For me, I have enough to do as it is, and I think it'll be a lot less stressful for him if I'm not stressed over him!
Will post again once we are all back in UK and let you know how it went.

Re: Info on dog shipping from Perth to Heathrow
Maybe would need longer if you need to arrange for your pet to stay in boarding for any length of time
