Discuss pets? posted within the Taking your Pets to Australia forum at Getting Down Under

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone is planning to (or already has) take their pets
with them when they emigrate?

Can anyone reccommend anything to make this process any easier. We have
had one quote and it was £2,500-

Any ideas or suggestions welcome

Thanks in advance

Steph

Steph,

We came out with our dog, she is 2 years old. Everything was fine we
paid about 1800 pounds with golden arrow. We had no problem, there are
other costs vets fees about 150 pounds and qquarantineabout $800.

thanks for your reply... I really want to take her. My husband doesn't
think that it's such a good idea. He thinks that it's too expensive and
that we can't guarantee that she'll be ok with the long flight.

Thanks again

We are taking our dog after a lot of consideration. My son wouldn't
have it any other way!!

We had a quote from golden arrow for my six year old Lab and they have
been fantastic. Okay it's costing about 2.5K but well worth it in my
opinion. Our dog is quite stressy too..even hates car journeys! You
will find that you will get more stressed about the whole situation
more than the dog. I am really glad we made the decision to take him -
all the fun and companionship he's given us over the years is well
worth the money!

I have a horse too, but unfortunately he's too old to take!

Good luck....

Hi Steph, we're off early next year and had decided early on that we
would take our dog. We're in Ireland and have really struggled to find
a pet transport company from here. Only found 1 Irish that quoted
€3,500 - my husband nearly had a fit. I did get an English company to
quote from Dublin though (could only find 1) and that quote came in
about €1,000 cheaper (about £1,750). She is certainly not a
pedigree, but we just couldn't leave her, especially for the kids.
We're hoping we might get an extra couple of grand for the house that
we're not expecting.......... (Need to find someone who wants to buy
it first) Michelle

any way you yourselves can take doggie to the UK or NI and get it moved
from there? would that be cheaper/easier?
