Any advice of pet transportation to New Zeland?

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a pet carrier to transport our 4 dogs to New Zealand.
Or has anyone organised it themselves.

Any advice from anyone who has already done this would be appreciated.

Cheers

Darran

Puppy Travel is awesome! They're based in the US but handle pet moves from all over the world. And the coolest part is that they're a travel agency for people with pets....so you can book your flights through them too.

We were going to do it ourselves, but most (if not all) airlines require an IPATA certified pet shipper to drop them off at the cargo receiving area.

We're using them right now. Due to a few unexpected deaths in the family we had to cancel our plans a few times, but they have been very good and willing to work with our special circumstances (one of our dogs has epilepsy). Even got our airline tickets completely refunded!
