The dream of a new life in New Zealand, with its stunning landscapes and your beloved companion at your side, can be very appealing, but it comes with some of the world's strictest biosecurity rules.
At HappyLocate, we recognise this special bond and use our trusted pet transport service to make complicated requirements simple and comforting for your four-legged family member, guiding them through a necessary 'stepping stone' journey via an approved country to ensure all required testing and treatments are completed prior to their arrival in New Zealand.
Your pet will be microchipped according to ISO standards before any vaccinations (including rabies), then Rabies Vaccination is required, then Rabies Titer Test (RNATT).
We secure the import permit from the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) well in advance with confirmation that conditions have been met while we arrange all other vaccinations, tests, internal and external parasite treatments for dogs and cats. We prepare your Official Veterinary Declaration (OVD), following MPI's template and ensuring it has an official stamp from the government.
Your pet will travel safely and comfortably as manifest cargo to airports—Auckland and Christchurch—in an IATA-compliant crate, with us handling all the necessary notice of arrivals and managing all the intricate logistics.
Our detailed pet relocation services ensure that every step of the journey to New Zealand is stress-free for you and your furry friend.
