Pet Travel
When relocating your pets interstate you have you have two options.
Option 1:
The Pets can be transported as freight on your behalf by OzPet Transport with either Qantas or Virgin Blue. One of our service professionals can organise
Airport to Airport or our
Door to Door service nationwide. Pets are transported in our air-conditioned vehicles in airline approved Pet Carriers. All pets receive a comfort stop prior to departure and upon arriving at their destination.
Option 2:
Your pets can travel with you as excess baggage. Both Virgin and Qantas allow one pet per passenger to travel as excess baggage (fees apply). Pets must be housed in an airline approved Pet Carriers. Pet Carriers are available for hire or can be purchased from OzPet. Airlines require animals to be delivered to the freight terminal 90 minutes prior to departure. If traveling with more than one pet it is always advisable to take your largest animal as excess baggage. OzPet can organise your other pets to travel with you on the same flight as freight at a discounted rate. Our customer service staff will be more than happy to help you with any queries you may have.
Moving is stressful enough for the owners, but for your pet moving can be a totally bewildering experience. OzPet can make the transportation of your pets a stress free process for both you and your pet.
Pickup and Delivery
OzPet pick up and deliver animals door to door nationwide. Please note that the timing of pickup and deliveries may vary depending upon your location and airline schedules. When you confirm your pets transport our staff will contact you to verify the information, confirm flight details and notify you of our estimated pickup and delivery times. Drivers call in advance to confirm their arrival and also notify the destination recipient in the same manner prior to delivery.
Pet Carriers:
All pets that travel with an airline are required to travel in an airline approved Pet Carrier. Dogs travel in either steel mesh crates (large dogs) or plastic pet carriers (smaller dogs). Cats, travel in plastic pet packs (they are ideal for use as beds, litter trays or hutches after the journey). There are several different sizes of Pet Carriers. When selecting a carrier it is important your pet is able to sit, stand, lie down and turn around easily. If using your own carrier it is a good idea to put your pet in your carrier prior to transport to make sure they haven't outgrown it if it has been some time since its last use.
