Pet Transport to Australia

• Once you’ve decided to take your pet, it’s advisable to start planning early, generally several months in advance. That’s to ensure the required documents, vaccinations, health checks and vet work are completed in a timely fashion.
• We don’t quote pet transport prices on our website, as each quotation is specific to each pet. There are a lot of factors that contribute to a pet transportation price. These include flight routes and destinations, size and weight of your pet, the scope and level of service(s) required and lots more.
• Your pet transport quotation will be between our service partner and yourself, Ausmove do not take any commissions or financial reward. Our goal is to ensure your ‘whole family’ can travel and settle safely in Australia.
• Most dogs can travel to Australia providing they meet the specific health standards and import eligibility requirements. Our partners will assist you to ensure the required documentation, vet work, tests and treatments are completed.
• If you need a little breathing room or want to take a holiday our service partner can have first class boarding facilities for both cats and dogs, on both sides of the Tasman.
• All your pet’s travel itinerary, bookings, and transit care are part of the service. Flight bookings can be coordinated with the family’s flights if there’s plenty of notice.
• Our partners have a fully equipped pet transit lounge for priority check in at Auckland airport. There’s easy parking and access both into and out of the airport. Your pet(s) will be able to stretch and relax before departure and when they arrive. They will be well looked after by dedicated pet handlers and have access to an onsite vet (if necessary). There are also pet toilet facilities and plenty of water on hand.

• Prior to departure you will have a customised pet crate delivered to your home. In some instances (and depending on your location), a home visit can be arranged for a pet handler to professionally fit your pet to the right sized crate.
• The in-flight temperature in the area of the plane reserved for pets is set at 18 degrees Celsius, and the cabin is dimly lit so your pet can see and hear what’s going on.

Once the plane has landed in Australia your pets will be the first off, even before the humans. They will be taken to a secure and comfortable waiting area. Each arrival airport procedure is slightly different, but once your destination is known, this will be outlined to you, as part of the consultation process.
