About $1,500+ per dog - same answer I gave to your duplicate post on the MBTTUK forum.

Maybe the OP thought they'd get a better price on this forum....

I'll do it for $1200 per dog plus a six-pack of Coors Lite.

Do you have any requirements on the condition of the dogs when delivered?

We looked at it last year. Continental suggested it would cost about $1200 for a 35lb dog. There also said they would not ship from the South (e.g. Texas, where I was) during Summer months because they are exposed to heat. That suggests to me that it is quite a gruelling experience, obviously they are crated and not moved immediately from air-conditioned environment to another air-conditioned environment. There are also lots of add-on costs that you will encounter too, like having someone tend to your dog immediately after landing - of-course you'll opt for those. Anyway, I assume you have already looked at DEFRA's website. If you do definitely do this, my best advice is to shop around for a Veterinary Practice that is familiar with the procedure of shipping animals from the US to the UK. They do exist!
