mongo1 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm trying to get an idea of what a reasonable price to pay for transporting dogs. I have two dogs that I'm moving from Perth to Darwin and I've been quoted from $700 - $1200 for them both to go, this sounds rather pricey to me but I'm not sure as I've never transported dogs before. I'm sure there are some people on here that transport their dogs regularly can you let me know if this seem like an excessive price or not? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) What size are they? if it is AAE they go on weight. $700 does seem quite high to me... are you sending them up by themselves or travelling with you? it should cost less particularly if they are travelling with you. I paid $1100 return for 1 Weimaraner bitch (approx 28kg) from Perth to Canberra last year, unnaccompanied. before that, I paid approx $360 return from Perth-Adelaide-Perth for same dog, but I was travelling with her. ETA: by "with you" i mean same flight Edited January 24, 2012 by SparkyTansy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo1 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 They are 19kg and 7kg respectively. I did think it seemed a little expensive but they are travelling by themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacuna Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Shoot Wayrod on this forum a PM, he organised transport for my girl from Perth to Adelaide at great rate and has wonderful customer service :) + 1 I recently used his transport services again, this time to send a pup from Melbourne to Perth, very happy with communication, service and price. The pup was sent in a PP30 crate (really to large but allowing for future usage) was under 8 kilos and I think most of that weight was crate, bedding and water.

voloclydes Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 another option is to talk to some one who drives trucks.... a lot of driver will take a doggie in the cab for a fee of a few hundred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Wayrod here too :) If the $700 is for both of them I think it sounds about right. Also depends if you are hiring a crate or providing your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
