Dear PetRelocation,

I'm really confused about moving all of my animals to New Zealand. Is there a certain number of animals that I can move? Do I have to wait a certain number of days after all shots before importing them? Really desperate for help!!

Thanks,

Erika

Hi Erika,

Here's a good resource for you to check out: it's the official government guide to bringing cats and dogs into New Zealand. Since there are several steps (vaccinations, documents to secure, etc.), it's important to set up a timeline and follow it closely.

You will also need to secure the correct travel crates for your pets and check with the airline about any restrictions they may have. It's likely that, since you have so many pets, they will end up traveling on a couple of different flights. Keep in mind: for most of the pet relocations we arrange, pet owners and pets fly separately (and that's just fine).
