Re: jets4pets
Agree with others - we used Golden Arrow for 3 cats and they were marvellous from start to finish. Not the cheapest co. but worth it for peace of mind in my opinion.

Re: jets4pets
Thanks but were only just over an hour from heathrow and less than an hour from gatwick anyway. I'm sure ladyhaye are based near one of these airports which means we would be able to drop him off when we go - only trouble is I cant seem to find anyone thats used them

Re: jets4pets
I've emailed ladyhaye for a quote after you mentioned them, not heard back yet, they do have an office in manchester so assume they may use the airport there too!? I rang goldenarrow today and they're sending some info out, was hoping they'd quote on the phone, they didnt ask me my dogs measurements so assuming i will have to send a form back, not got much time!!!

Re: jets4pets
Hi Strawbie,
I think you'll definately be looking at around two and a half grand for a lab with Golden Arrow.
Don't fret about the time scale - though you do need to allow at least five weeks for all the tests to be done, as each has to be done within a specific time frame of the previous one. If you're panicking - just give them another call with your pooch's measurements, I'm sure he won't mind.
Tell him I recommeded them to you (you may get a discoutn! )
I sent my dog: Amber (brown & tan crossbreed) to Auckland in October
Family name: Hunt (North Yorkshire)
Good Luck

p.s I forgot to mention that when I asked for quotes for sending her from Manchester it was WAAAAAY more than for Heathrow - (they use Air New Zealand, so you add on the price of a BMI connection to London)

Re: jets4pets
Sorry I can't remember now, but i remember thinking that it might be cheaper to send her off locally rather than driving down South - but had to sit down when the quotes for this came back ...LOL!
It was a lovely drive down to Golden Arrow though, quite relaxing after all the stress of everything else going on, and so much nicer than having to battle down the M1. Take a picnic with you, and have a chilled day away from everything - it'll do ya good

Re: jets4pets
I don't really agree with some comments that paying more can give you peace of mind, after all they all end up in the same place on the plane whoever you use!!. Some companies are able to charge less as they are more popular. One of the main reasons we chose Parair was they were highly recommended in the eemigration pack & also they had been around for 40+ years.

Noticed you are in West Yorkshire, I'm in East Lancs and I'm going to use Pet Air based in Chorley, £1800 for a spaniel from Manchester. Just thought they may be nearer to you.

Re: jets4pets
we used Parair in Stanway, Colchester, and it cost 3,700 for 3 cats and a cocker spaniel, including vets, boarding and all tests etc, they'll pick up for a price too. Hope that helps :-)
