Amazing Service - Thanks to Airport Pets NZ the whole process of exporting two Johnston Bulldogs was seemless. They arrived in Australia happy!!!! They are not the smallest of dogs and I was super nervous they would not handle the trip, but your team were awesome - Special mention to Lindy who was amazing and the team at the lodge for looking after our babies during the transition. Much appreciated and would definitely be recommending. Super, Super happy and look forward to working with you guys again if required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pet transport services do you provide in New Zealand?
We provide end-to-end pet transport services across New Zealand — from home pick-up and veterinary inspections to flight bookings, export documentation, and safe delivery to Auckland Airport. Whether your pet is travelling within NZ or overseas, we manage the entire journey so you don’t have to worry about the logistics.
Do you handle international pet travel from New Zealand?
Yes. We arrange international relocations for pets travelling to Australia, the UK, Europe, Asia, and the United States. This includes export permits, health certification, IATA-approved crates, and coordination with airlines to meet each destination country’s import requirements.
Can you pick up and drop off pets at Auckland Airport?
Yes. We collect pets from homes, vet clinics, or boarding facilities and transport them safely to Auckland Airport, handling check-in and all necessary paperwork along the way.
Do you cover locations outside Auckland as well?
Yes, our service covers destinations across New Zealand, not just Auckland. Wherever you’re based, we can arrange safe transport that meets airline and government requirements.
What's included in the service?
A typical booking includes home pick-up, IATA-approved travel crates, a pre-travel veterinary check, airline booking coordination, export documentation, and safe transport to the airport. Costs vary depending on the destination, pet size, and crate requirements — get in touch with our team for a personalised quote.
What do I need to prepare before my pet travels?
Your pet will need up-to-date vaccinations, a microchip, a valid health certificate, and any additional paperwork required by the destination country (this varies — some countries require rabies titre tests or quarantine periods). We’ll confirm the exact checklist for your specific route.
Are there any breed or size restrictions?
Some airlines restrict brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Persian cats due to health risks at altitude, and crate size requirements vary by aircraft. We’ll check your pet’s breed and size against airline policies before booking, so there are no surprises.
