Answer 1

a visa and cargo fees however you would have to pay about £100 for a pet passport not kidding you need a pet passport wich can be obtained from your vet

Answer 2

If you have a family member with four hairy legs, there are some special considerations to make sure they get to New Zealand safely.

What costs are involved?

Your pet will need a veterinary check including micro-chipping for identification purposes. There are several tests your animal will need to take including blood tests. Expect to pay around £100.

Using a pet relocation service can cut the hassle of dealing with numerous procedures and chasing paperwork. You need to have an import certificate which costs £130. Pets from the UK do not need to go into quarantine on arrival, but need to stay home-based for the first 30 days.

It is advisable to find a cattery or kennel to house them while your own accommodation is sorted out. Booking pets in for the first month will provide them with stability and make sure they stay safe.

It costs around £1000 to fly a small pet such as a cat or terrier to New Zealand. If you have a large dog, the cost will increase as the costs relate to the size of the crate required for transporting.

It is a good idea to take several quotes from pet relocation agencies as the cost can vary. Ask the agency to specify how much help they can give you with making sure all the compliance paperwork is completed. The less follow-up you have to do, the easier the transporting will be.

All the best!
