Anyone has experience bringing pet from Perth to the US?
I've read the many threads on bringing pets from country to country, but I was curious if anyone had experience with Perth and the US in particular?
We're travelling in June, and I read on the Delta website that they don't allow pets as check in during that time. We got quoted $2300 by a pet relocation but that is just so expensive. Is there a cheaper alternative?

So, what's the alternative? Leave the pet behind after finding someone else to care for him. Personally, I wouldn't even consider that option... so I'd pony up the $$.

You've read the posts - go with what others have done. Otherwise, you not only do a disservice to your pet, you risk his health/life.

Is your pet small enough to fly in the cabin? If so, that could be an option. I flew with my cat from the UK to the USA and he was in a carrier underneath the seat in front of me. No problem.
Airlines don't let pets fly in the cargo hold in the summer months or at high temperatures because of the risks.

They allow it all the time! Been there... done that... and got he damn t-shirt. I guess that was really all my fault though, because in not anticipating the uncaring nature of others, my inhaler was in my carry-on bag checked plane-side prior to boarding. Who knew there'd be a cat under my seat!
