The process of shipping a pet to Australia requires a lot of preparation. Good news is that you do not need to do it alone! At PETport our team of experts will make sure you know everything you need to make the move to Australia problem-free.\u00a0<\/p>
The requirements for bringing your pet into Australia is dependant on what ‘group’ the country you are coming from falls into. South Africa is a group 3 country which means it is a part of the approved countries or territories where rabies is absent or well-controlled.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThere has been a great improvement in the quarantine process when immigrating your pet to Australia.

You can book your quarantine as soon as your import permit has been successful. PETport will make sure your pet arrives safely at the facility. \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
