Transport, UK to Aus

[tojoniki]

Were looking at moving Ray with us to Australia in September, does anyone have any info and advice about transporting here? What are the concerns and issues and does anyone know a good pet transport company (pref one that doesnt charge £5000)

There have been one or two threads in the past that specifically relate to flying dogs to Australia (I think from the US), but for the moment I can't locate them. What you do need to know about Australia though is the pet travel scheme and quarantine requirements.

Detailed information is available on this government site: Category 4: Quarantine period varies in Australia - DAFF United Kingdom

And here are a few previous threads about flying, choosing airlines, etc:
