U.K to New Zealand

We are looking into going to New Zealand. There's a lot to take into consideration before making the leap & one of the first things i want to look at is the journey for the dog.
Has anyone here undertaken such a long journey? Ive heard that dogs are fine on a ten hour flight but U.K to NZ could be up to 30hrs. I'm not exact on this as it would depend where you are flying from but imagine 30hrs being worst case scenario.

Friends of my late Dad emigrated to new Zealand & took their 8/9 year old labrador with them. They used a pet transport company & they sorted out all the paperwork etc for them, he arrived safe & well & lived his lfe out there for another 6/7 years. The company on the link have been safely transporting pets around the world for a very long time

Sorry to hijack the thread...
But if your dog comes from UK than you don't have to give him to quarnatine for a month?

Direct from the NZ Government site
There is a permit that has to be applied for, which is why it is better to use an experienced shipping company

If i'm led to believe right - quarantine only takes place within the garden area of your house - for the 30 days i think it is. This was just from someone who had emigrated with 2 leos. They managed the journey fine by the way

Quarantine is not required for dogs from the UK

How long does a dog has to live in UK so you can say he is from there? (6 months, a year...?)

quarantine is a government licensed kennel whereby the dog cannot even ever leave the kennel.

very true. new zealand runs the pet passport scheme. your dog will need a pet passport. contact DEFRA

Ok maybe quarantine was the wrong word - bu**er trying to be helpful, lol!! Confined to the garden would be a better way of putting it. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind it and i'm not a member of the leo group at the mo so can't go back and ask.

no, cats and dogs travelling from UK into NZ dont require any sort of quarantine but need an import certificate and will be checked for ticks on arrival.
