Bringing Our Shitzu Dog To The Uk

[cleverD]

We have a 7 year old Shitzu which is living with my wifes mother at present.The rules changed on 1st Jan 2012 regarding Quaranteen.The new rules seem to be Have the dog microchipped and vacinated for rabies,wait 30 days and have a blood test which I believe has to be sent to the UK for analysis if OK wait 3 months and up to 5 days before flying have tape worm injection then can travel to UK with approved airline (Thai and Eva are not on the list).

Please has anyone done this yet and which Vet or animal hospital was used ?

Which airline will carry Shitzu as some airlines refuse to carry snub nosed dogs because they can suffer with respiratory problems under stress.

Are there any Agents who will handle every thing ?

Any idea of the cost of microchip and vacinations etc.

Any idea of the cost of air freight as it is a condition of entry to the uk that the Dog arrives as cargo not Excess baggage.

I have posted this here as the pets forum is more about animals in Thailand rather than Dog migration.Any help would be most appreciated.
