Tips and Facts:

For the specific import requirements of the country of your destination check this link to Australian government website.

Tip 1.
It is sometimes a good idea to "acclimatise" your pet to the crate it will be travelling in. Let it spend varying lengths of time in the crate several days before travel. Some pets are stressed by being placed in a strange environment. An acclimatised pet will "stress less".

Tip 2.
Also, you may wish to put an article of clothing that you have worn, in the crate during transportation. This may help to calm the pet. An old T-shirt that you have slept in for one or more nights will work well.

Tip 3.
Sedation of your pet is not generally recommended for air travel. Please seek your Veterinary Surgeon's advice.

Tip 4.
Please, no food, leads, sheep skins or choker chains in the crate. Collars are ok.

Tip 5.
It takes time to plan your pet's relocation. Ideally give us two weeks notice to arrange flights, AQIS and vet appointments.

International Requirements:

Current vaccination is an essential minimum requirement. The A.Q.I.S. (Australian Quarantine Inspection Services) has a website for more detailed information as to each country's import requirements.
