ABOUT US

As pioneers in the pet courier industry, our trained professionals will handle all your pet’s travel needs while you get complete peace of mind to focus on your relocation.

Rest assured, we keep ourselves updated on all regulations within New Zealand and worldwide, flying pets to destinations like Australia, Asia, Europe, and the United Kingdom.
PET AIR TRAVEL
Moving to a new place is more challenging when you’re taking your four-legged friend along for the journey. It’s a logistical nightmare, with a mountain of paperwork like forms, documents, and vet checks to sort out before hitting the road. Even a small mistake can result in longer quarantines and additional costs for you.
At Auckland Airport Pets, we lift this burden completely off your shoulders. With years of experience under our belt, we handle all your paperwork with precision, whether it's specific breed rules or regulations for different countries.
Our detailed checklist covers everything from veterinary requirements and health documents to custom clearance forms and MPI certifications. Your pet's comfort and well-being are our number one priority, and we go the extra mile to ensure it.

- Pet pickup, straight from your home.

- MPI veterinary inspection.
- Exporter declaration forms.
- Hassle-free pet flight bookings.

All-in-one pet services
Concerned about your pet's accommodations before their flight? Don't worry, we've got you covered with our on-site Brookby Lodge pet boarding facility for pre-flight stays.
We’ll connect you with local vet services to ensure your pet's Export Certificate is processed on time, required 96 hours before flights to Australia. Plus, we’ll arrange MPI visits 24-48 hours before all other international flights.
Before your journey begins:
International pet travel comes with its own set of prerequisites to be met, including:
- All pets must be microchipped before departure.
- For dogs travelling to Australia from New Zealand, owners must sign a declaration confirming their pet was born and bred in New Zealand.
- Dogs travelling to Australia from other countries must get blood tests before travel.
- Cats and dogs travelling to the UK, Ireland and Europe require vaccination for rabies at least 21 days before departure.
- Pets travelling from Asia to Australia need to stay in a pet boarding facility in NZ for 180 days before completing the final leg of their journey. This service is available at Brookby Lodge at a discounted daily rate.
