    Hi all,

    Looking for advice from people who have brought their pets to Oz, I have got all the information on import licences and quarantine. i just looking for information on flights, who did you book them with? or did you use a pet relocation company? and the rough cost of the flight.
    Thanks guys

    I know we do this a lot but this is another one for britishexpats.com, loads of people have imported pets on that.

    We used Golden Arrow to ship our dog over. Nowhere in Ireland does a proper service - they'll stick a few pictures of cats and dogs on their website, but in fact they're just freight companies and don't really give a crap. They're based in the UK - they have kennels on site, so look after the dog for a few days to get it used to its travel box. They also collected him from Holyhead for us (my dad took him over on the ferry).

    They were fantastic to deal with - there are a lot of hoops to jump through - I wouldn't fancy looking after it myself - and it does cost a bit - think I spent around 6/7K shipping our guy - a larger dog would cost more (ours is a chihuahua)

    Might also add that the kennel staff at quarantine were fantastic - really looked after the dog, and he suffered no ill effects (he's a nervous dog by nature).
