Thread: Importing animals to AU from US

    Default Importing animals to AU from US

    How hard is it to bring animals from the UA to AU?

    We have 2 dogs-

    American Bulldog and Jack Russell Terrier...

    both are less than 30 lbs right now...


    I saw that pit bulls are illegal .. how about the american bulldog?

    Do I have to provide registration papers?

    Both are fine in Aus. The most important thing you need to find out is how
    pet friendly they are where you plan to live. Where we are is very pet
    un-friendly. It's very hard to find any place for a decent rental rate that
    will take any sort of pet no matter the size. It will cost a great deal to
    bring your dogs (aprox $5000 for our two cats) and a lot more to house them
    if you don't do your research. We're paying about $450 more per month just
    because we need a house that will take pets.
