There are many pet travel companies around the world. You will need to find an animal travel comapny that has partners overseas as moving pets overseas cannot be done by one company alone. There are many aspects to pet travel.

Things you need to take into account are kennels for quarantine, inoculations for rabies, and pet containers to ship your pet in. In the UK for instance the Quarantine is for for six months for dogs and in a at a privately run quarantine kennel. Birds need 35 days house quarantine with no other birds in the house. Inoculations required are rabies inoculations  done outside the UK are not accepted and must be done immediately on arrival. Pets traveling to the UK have to have an import permit and a health certificate. Watch out because the health certificate is only valid for 14 days.

As you can see – to get all of this done in the correct order, and buy tickets and wooden dog transport boxes is not an eay matter – bring you pet back to South Africa will be another set of regulations all together.Pets to the UK and other European countries each require different inoculations and quarantine periods. They also have different rules about what pets they will accept into that country – Australia for instance does not allow pit bull at all. You best bet is to find an international pet transport service – like Animal travel Agencies, and let them take care of all the details.
