Rain Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Hello I am looking for recommendations for a company to price the cost of shipment for a puppy when it is of age to come to Australia from the UK, and any companies i should keep away from through your experience also. For those breeders that have imported what is the step by step process for importing. Please feel free to pm me if you prefer. Thank you kindly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkySoaringMagpie Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's complicated because they have to have the rabies vacc, a titre and then wait 150 days before they can leave - plus a bunch of other things. So what you really need is a good agent to do the lot for you and make sure all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. In that context the expense also really depends on whether the breeder is going to to charge boarding fees etc or whether you have to arrange for the dog to do the 150 days elsewhere (with friends or in a kennel for example). I used VCK from Europe (Amsterdam) and would recommend them unhesitatingly, they were great, reliable, professional and priced competitively. Can't help with direct from the UK tho'.

Trisven13 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I used Wayrod to bring one from Sweden to Australia with a 3-4 month stay in NZ - he was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoiboy Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I have used Animial Travel to send pups to the USA and Hawaii. They have also brought a couple of adult dogs to Australia for me from Italy. I would recomend them in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thank you for your replies, I am reading all the information from DAFF and will contact the companies recommended for quotes. Yes i have to find out boarding fee etc with the breeder just wanted to get an idea of what the cost will be for transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 I called Animal Travel and they are not dealing with imports at the moment only exports and domestic travel, they were lovely on the phone. That is a good price SSM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a good price SSM Yes, that was just the flights, not the rest of the vet and paperwork, but it is a good price. Especially as I recently got quotes for Sydney-Auckland and it was more!! You could fly a person business class from Sydney to Auckland on the amount of money they were after and have change left over to do some shopping. Wish I understood how that works.

Rain Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 SSM that is crazy! you would think Sydney to Auckland would be a fair price, must have a huge mark up? Thank you Airedaler i will contact them for a quote :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
