Flying Pup International

Recommended Posts

Just a quick question. How old do pups have to be to fly international? (to NZ)

Thanks in advance

Qantas have recently altered their protocols.

INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL TRANSPORT WITH QANTAS – GENERAL INFORMATION

When planning international transport for your pets the major considerations are the welfare and safety of the animals.

Puppies and kittens are accepted for travel and MUST BE 8 weeks or older for flights that are 14hours or less and 12 weeks or older for flights that are greater than 14hours. All puppies and kittens must be weaned prior to travel.

Where possible, arrangements for travel should be made well in advance of the planned departure.

Note: Where flight times are quoted that includes stop overs.

ANKC breeder's pups have to be at least 11 weeks to fly international.

Be sure to tell shipper the breeder is ANKC as the shipper will not assure/protect that the ANKC breeders are following the ANKC Code of Ethics and the breeder can be punsihed by ANKC for failing to comply with the Code of Ethics.

All other breeders of purebred dogs or none purebred dogs must follow the state and national laws, ask the shipper for exact details, the shipper will make sure these breeders do not violate the law.

Good point!

From ANKC Code of Ethics

18. A member shall not export a puppy under the age of eleven [11] weeks, or such greater age permitted under the livestock import requirements of the country to which the puppy is being exported.
