The UK is an designated rabies free zone which simplifies procedure on pet quarantine to New Zealand. The first step is to get your pet vaccinated, blood tested and micro chipped which you should plan at least 7 months in advance of them being transported to New Zealand.
There are good pet transporters working out of the UK who will help you with any permit paperwork and steer you in the right direction as to which quarantine centers are available to you when your pet arrives. 10 day quarantine is mandatory on arrival in NZ for UK pets. Spaces on flights for pets are limited and booked well in advance so if you are considering accompanying your pet on the same flight please make early enquiries.
