Default Transporting Dogs - Advice please.

Hi everyone.

I'm English & my partner is a kiwi and so we are preparing to move to NZ for good in June/July. We have one very beautiful chocolate labrador who we would not even consider leaving behind, so I wonder if there is anyone out there who could recommend a company they have used or planning to use and give us a few examples of costs - I know it's expensive but she's worth it lol.

We are going to be heading to Cambridge where my OH was brought up and would be so happy to chat to people in that area. We also have one very beautiful little girl who will turn one in july so would also love to hear about Mother & Toddler groups in that area too.

What an exciting and worrying time all at the same time

Amy

We used Golden Arrow for our three dogs, as have many others on here. Excellent service

Thanks for that. I've phoned them & a quote is on the way.

How were the dogs after the journey?

Absolutely fine, they ran around the yard at Christchurch airport and Neil, I and the customs guy had to run around catching them, they were so giddy.

Photos please

Golden Arrow come with a great track record. We didn't ship dogs but we did ship two cats with no problems at all. They just looked like they'd snoozed all the way.

I used Airpets for 2 large dobermans and was very impressed with the service we received and the condition of the dogs upon arrival.
