Interstate Travel

Hi

We will be relocating from Perth to Brisbane in August and need some advice on pet travel.

What type of crate is the required standard, AAE states that for larger breeds a metal cage but did not specify much else. We have a labrador X and we're hoping to 're-use' his crate after the travel, possibily as an outdoor kennel once we get to Brisbane.

Does anyone have any experience and also where's the best place to get the crate/cage?

Cheers

I'd be renting one from a company like JetPets - airline approved crates (like in the photo on the link) are not really suitable as an outdoor kennel.

I just noticed that JetPets is one of the sponsors and give them a call. I might just go with them as they seem to take care of everything... cant remember, but i'm pretty sure they were the same people i used to transport my 2 cats from Singapore to Perth.

Yup JetPets are very helpful ! Good luck with everything!

Recently moved a pup of 18kg from Perth Airport to Brisbane Airport for $286.00 (which included wire hire crate)

For me I would buy a new kennel once in Qld, travel crates are not normally the best units to make into permanent housing.

Good luck with the move!
