Can domestic golden retrievers be taken to Australia?

You can bring it, but you have to go to Hong Kong to quarantine for half a year. Dogs will not fly on the same flight as you, and bringing a dog is a very troublesome process

The cost is tens of thousands of yuan

After reading a lot of posts about bringing dogs to Australia, it seems that you can really Very few achieve this goal.

My little Elmo can definitely be regarded as a lucky one. After several months of waiting, he finally arrived home safe and sound.

Of course, I experienced a lot of sadness, missing, waiting, crying, and even dreaming about my precious son. . .

Especially in the first period of time, I thought about it day and night, and I was extremely unaccustomed to living without a dog!

I think everyone who has pets will feel the same way about this!

Time is the best medicine. Gradually, I got used to the days of missing you.

That’s it for the mood. I think we still have to overcome what we need to overcome. In order to Dog, for the future, everyone must be strong!

Now let’s get down to business.

There are traces of how to bring a dog to Australia. I will share my experience here.

My dog ??came to Australia after staying at my friend’s house in Hong Kong for 6 months. I would like to express my special thanks to my friend Eddie. He is also a famous dog handler in Hong Kong. He has more than a dozen show dogs at home. Only, many of them are among the best in the world, but he has a full-time job. Dogs are just a personal hobby and he never sells dogs. 8

We let a Hong Kong pet travel company handle the entire process. I would also recommend that you find a suitable agency to handle travel to Australia, because those procedures are really cumbersome.

I will explain them one by one below

The sixth step is to book the cabin. The agent booked the cabin with Cathay Pacific.

Step 7: Wait until 120 days to collect blood samples and do Lepto, B-canis and E-canis examinations and frontline flea treatment, that is, leptospirosis, Prussian disease, and ehrlichiosis Disease check and Flea flea removal. I got the report in about 27 days and passed!

The eighth step is to do internal and external deworming four days before departure.

Step 9: Four days before departure, go to the veterinarian for a final full body check to make sure the body is in suitable condition for transportation.

Step ten, bring all relevant veterinary certificates and documents as well as import license documents, buy a special flight case, and get on the plane!

After arriving in Melbourne successfully, the staff there will contact you by phone to confirm that the dog has arrived safely.

You can see the dogs almost every day, but you are not allowed to bring food.

Summary:

Bringing a dog to Australia is a very difficult task and involves certain risks.

It is best for the owner to have an acquaintance in Hong Kong to help raise the dog. I know that there are many kennels that provide this service and are responsible for isolation and related matters. But to be honest, I really don’t trust the dog in the kennel. There are a lot of people and dogs there. If you encounter a bad kennel, the dog will suffer misfortune. At least the freedom will definitely be limited. It is definitely caged or kept in captivity. The time to take care of the dog after doing business will definitely be limited. .Besides, half a year is not a short period of time, and anything can happen. When asked about the cost, it is usually about 20,000 to 30,000 for a puppy, which takes half a year. A big dog is more expensive, about 40,000.

Hong Kong professional There are many pet travel companies, and you can choose one with a better reputation. Since the procedures for arriving in Australia are very complicated and the time needs to be checked accurately, it will be troublesome if you miss any step. They will help you arrange everything step by step. Generally, the cost is 7,000 to 8,000 Hong Kong dollars. No, the one I used at home was RMB 7,800. Since it was recommended by a friend in the circle, it felt very professional.

As for the cost, the total cost this time was ***30,000 yuan. Since my friend helped with the foster care, Therefore, the half-year boarding fee is not included. The owner who is not willing to spend money must think clearly.

In short, it is a waste of time and money. I am convinced that the dog can come back healthy and safe. Elmo is very lucky and has not suffered much.< /p>

As for many details, friends who have questions can message me. I hope all dogs can be lucky and safe to reach the paradise of dogs!
