AirVets Announces New Pet Shipping Route Dallas Texas to Sydney Australia

DALLAS - Oct. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Dallas, TX. Up until now, pets traveling from the United States to Australia had to first travel to Los Angeles, but not any more.  With Qantas' new non-stop route from DFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport to Sydney Airport, pet owners can take comfort that their cats and dogs can travel directly to Australia from Dallas, TX.

Qantas' QF8 flight was first launched in May of 2011 and did not include pets on the flight until today.  Dr. David Landers, veterinarian and owner of AirVets worked with the DAFF Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry and AQIS Australian Quarantine Inspection Service in Australia, USDA APHIS VS NCIE United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Veterinary Services National Center for Import and Export, as well as Qantas offices on both continents to make the modifications necessary to begin booking pets on this flight.

Dogs and cats flying on Qantas QF8 will undergo quarantine at the Eastern Creek Animal Quarantine Facility (http://www.daff.gov.au/biosecurity/cat-dogs/accom/eastern...). The duration of quarantine will be determined by the import requirements met by the pet with a minimum of 30 days.

"This new routing will really improve the logistics of safely getting pets from the Eastern and Central United States" said David Landers, DVM of AirVets Pet Relocation (http://www.airvets.com).

Pets being transported to Australia must undergo an extensive 6 month preparation including microchip implantation, vaccinations, blood tests, parasite treatments, and seemingly endless paperwork.  Let AirVets Pet Relocation take the stress out of your move to Australia.  Give us a call or visit our website to let us help you get your dog or cat to their destination safely and soundly.
