Exporting a dog to the UK

[bobtailkitten]

I'm sure this has been posted a ton of times but I can't find the info.

I want to bring a dog to the UK from Thailand.

I am currently in the UK but have people in Thailand who will be able to sort all the blood tests etc out for me.

I am interested in other peoples experience, what are the procedures of flying etc

Is it best to fly the dog by a carrier company or would it be better for me to go and collect the dog and return together?

I would prefer to not have to return to Thailand again but will if it is the best option.

What airlines and/or carrier companies have people used? Would love to hear everyones experiences, good or bad.

I'm trying to research online but it's hard to find a list of carriers and which ones are approved etc? pretty clueless on the whole procedure here.

Thanks!

I brought two cats back to the UK with me earlier this year. The procedure is practically identical for cats and dogs. Read my thread here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/683231-bringing-a-cat-from-thailand-to-uk/ or feel free to send me a pm with further questions.

Good luck, it will be worth it!
