Moving Pets Abroad
Have met a lot of people in New Zealand who were advised against flying their cats and dogs with them. We brought ours, Daisy dog was 15 and Barney cat was 17. Our vet, Mr Bonham of Bonham Vet Centre, Ramsbottom said they were both fit and well and part of our family and it would do them more harm to leave them with strangers in the UK. It cost a bit in blood tests etc., but was well worth it. We used Sharon Jobe of Ladyhaye International in Surrey who arranged their flights, shipping crates and all the paperwork. We all flew on the same flight from London Heathrow - LA - Auckland - Wellington. Our pets were not sedated, they were secure in their travel crates with water and comfort bedding, apparently the cabin crew have access to the animal hold and check on them. They both bounded out of their crates in Wellington non the worse for wear and are doing well in New Zealand.
