  Fraser’s trip to Australia

  Fraser the golden retriever went to Sydney recently, and he was good enough to agree to have us follow him as we prepared him for travel. Richard and Antuanette, his owners, asked JCS Pet Travel to help with his export and we were on hand to help all the way through the process of getting Fraser to his sunny new home.

• 

  Import and export paperwork

  Richard and Antuanette arranged their own import permit with AQIS in Australia, and asked us to arrange Fraser’s export permit with Animal Health. A vital part of the paperwork was for Fraser to have some blood taken (no more than 30 days prior to his flight) and then to have him treated for ticks. Richard and Antuanette organised this with their local vet then the blood was sent off for testing.

  Flight Kennel

  JCS arranged for a new flight kennel to be made for Fraser, specific to his length and height, and we made the booking for the flight to Perth (Fraser’s first stop, and his quarantine location).

• 

  Vet trip

  Three days prior to Fraser’s trip we collected him to take him to our vet, Forest House. This was the first part of his big adventure and he was happy to be handed over to our driver then sit in the transit kennel on the way to the vet. Once at the vet Fraser was happy to sit and wait while Kit the vet checked his weight, heart, ears and blood test results and then gave him a clean bill of health be completing his export and import permits.

  Ready to go

  With all his paperwork done and Fraser happy in his flight kennel, we were all set to deliver to the airline where he could be x-ray’d and the vet at the airline could check his paperwork, also completing the import and export permits, and putting a seal on the flight kennel. The flight over to Perth went via Singapore, where someone checked upon Fraser and his fellow furry passengers, before the final leg of the trip to Perth, where all the pets on the flight will have been met by AQIS staff for the trip to quarantine.

  Freedom!

  Thirty days later saw Fraser released from quarantine, none the worse for wear, as you can see. Pets are well looked after and exercised regularly in quarantine, where staff can provide owners with up-to-date information on their pets, and there is always a vet on call in case of emergencies. Following his owners around the world meant that Fraser made another trip to Sydney soon after his release from quarantine, and as you can see from the final picture, he’s fine and well and getting used to the famous sights of Sydney!
