Frequently Asked Questions About International Pet Transport to Europe

Q: Can I Move My Dog To Europe From New Zealand?

Yes, you can, you just need to follow a few important rules. Your pet will need to be microchipped, hold a pet passport or third-country official veterinary certificate, have a valid vaccination against rabies and other requirements, depending on where your pet will be travelling from. You must also fly within five days of your pet for the move to be considered “non-commercial”. Jetpets can provide you with all the advice you need for your pet to travel to Europe, ensuring that all documents, vetwork and treatments are accurately completed, making for an easy and stress-free experience.

Q: How Do You Transport Pets Overseas To Europe?

Jetpets transports pets by air, with trusted airline partners. We help you to organise an itinerary with the most direct flights possible, to ensure your pet’s safety, comfort and welfare throughout the journey.

Q: How Much Does It Cost To Fly A Dog To Europe From New Zealand?

There are many factors that go into pet transport prices, including flight routes and destinations, size and weight of your pet, level of service provided and more. Our quotes can be made all-inclusive, delivering a boutique experience for you and your pet – no hidden costs or surprises. We follow strict internal and external policies to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety during travel, so our pet transport prices already include full-service provisions.

This includes organising comfort stops for your pet along their journey and collecting your pet from the airport should there be a flight delay or cancellation. Your Jetpets pet travel consultant will talk you through all the available options, as well as provide you with a customised itinerary and quotation for your pet’s travel to Europe.

Q: Do Dogs Require Passports In Europe?

You don’t need a pet passport for your pet to travel from New Zealand to Europe but you can obtain the passport once you’ve reached your EU destination, if you plan on travelling between countries in the European Union.  The application process is simple, as you will already have all of the documentation used to imported your pet to Europe to begin with. An EU Pet Passport contains all of your pet’s relevant history and vetwork documentation, such as vaccinations and microchip number, in a single location.
