HOW TO CHOOSE A PET SHIPPER

It’s utterly nerve wrecking shipping pets. We all want them to be safe, well and looked after on their journey, and that’s why it’s so important to invest the time and effort into researching the right pet shipper.
It’s important to have the support that you need on the journey to beginning your new life in a different country.

Here’s what to look for when choosing a shipper to help you on your way.

ACCREDITATION

When it comes to ensuring the safety of your pets, selecting a shipper with the correct accreditation is paramount.

We recommend that you use a pet shipper that is a member of IPATA (International Pet and Animal Transportation Association).
IPATA is widely recognised in the pet shipping industry as the gold standard in accreditation when it comes to selecting a professional pet shipper.

You can find a shipper that’s a member via this link : www.ipata.org/ipata-pet-shippers-air-and-

Another important accreditation is IATA (International Air Transport Association) membership, which means they can book directly with airlines.

INSURANCE

Are they fully insured?
Is the company insured against anything that could go wrong? Such as going broke. You want to ensure that in the worst case scenario you get a happy, healthy pet arrive at the intended destination.

EXPERIENCE

Again, accreditation is a good indicator that they have enough industry experience to provide you and your pet with the best outcome.
Make sure to choose shippers that don’t have a record of cancelled flights or bad service. Expect what they have delivered to date.

REVIEWS

How much trust has the company accumulated in the industry?
Have they proven themselves by authentic reviews and testimonials? What are their clients saying about them in Google?
On their page? Are the majority of reviews positive experiences?
What are the reviews saying about their customer service?
If no-one has heard of a shipper, then do you want to risk using them?
And don’t forget to ask for recommendations on here 😉

TRUST YOUR GUT

If you feel that anything seems wrong, take notice of your instincts, although you can’t always precisely put it into words.
Does their website look professional and rich in information?
Is there a contact phone number?
What’s their customer service like?
How long does it take to get back to you?
Are they easy to contact?
How do they talk to you on the phone?
Remember that if anything goes wrong, or even if you just panic, you need a company that will be there for you quickly!

SHOPPING AROUND

Make sure to get a few quotes in writing.
Quotes are usually are for a set period of time (3-4 months). The quote should be fully itemised and it’s important to take note of what’s not included.

Deposits are usually 25% with the rest payable within seven days of your pet flying. Be wary of any shipper requesting you pay the amount in full upon engaging their services.
Read their cancellation policy before signing, in the unlikely event you need to cancel.

LEGALITIES

Read through any and all legal agreements carefully.
Beware of any agreement that is needlessly wordy or repetitive.
You should be able to understand most of what is written in the legal agreements without need of legal advice, but if in doubt, consult an expert.
The contract should contain:
- what the company does and does not accept liability for
- what is expected of you
- what you can expect from the shipper
- any appropriate insurance cover they have and any cover you may need to get
- A simple service level agreement (outlining hours of service and response times)
- Reference to any parent companies or partners (always good to do a search online for authenticity of these)

IPATA does not ship animals and we do not get involved with sales of any kind. If you have been contacted by a company claiming to be IPATA please visit our pet scams page for reporting.

Wonderful article about our members

https://www.smh.com.au/national/call-it-heavy-petting-25-000-to-bring-two-street-cats-home-20220506-p5aj3y.html

Australians are going through heartache and cash to relocate their loved ones back home.

20/04/2022

For those of you on Twitter, you may have noticed that Josh Frydenberg is currently trending regarding public support from the CEO of Guide Dogs Victoria. Rather ironic considering he ignored our email requests for providing better care for animals in mandatory pet quarantine - PEQ. We have been on Twitter about it (if you care to follow us).

It’s also a timely reminder with the upcoming election about David Littleproud MP (LNP) QLD who is head of PEQ and doing such a woeful job, causing so much heartache to our members in the last two years! We urgently need to see a new government in charge of PEQ, if we want change instead of 100% apathy!

Not only has he ignored ours & our members emailed requests in the past, he is still yet to acknowledge our petition.

Pets fly into Australia that have medical conditions, are elderly. Sick on arrival after a long flight or during their stay when stressed and refusing to eat.

Currently, they are left for 17 hour’s unsupervised. Staffed by biosecurity officers and husbandry staff, their PEQ vets are employed for initial check-ups and biosecurity hazzards. We need on-site vets and vet nurses to provide general health care instead of owners having to arrange on-call private vets. Last week we heard the very sad story of a little dachshund with a medical issue refused entry by PEQ because they wouldn’t be able to medically take care of it!

In our petition we request a purpose built onsite animal hospital.

As we have many new members, we thought this would be a good time to remind members of our petition. We hope you will sign and share. Change needs public pressure. Let’s make it happen for the well being of yours and everybody else’s pets.

Remember this is a biosecurity compound, it’s not regular pet boarding facility. It’s about biohazards and the security of our country. Your pets are not the priority!

PETS DYING IN AUSTRALIAN QUARANTINE DUE TO LACK OF CARE

Could you please retweet our petition ?

Thank you for your support! ❤️

* EXCITING NEWS!!!*

We have had a massive jump to 11,748 signatures! How incredible is that? We are now featured in the trending animal petitions on the front page of change org! 🙂

For those who haven’t seen our petition yet.

Pets in PEQ left unsupervised for 17 hours a day. There are no vets and vet nurses onsite ( up to owners to arrange a vet) and there are no immediate health checks when pets arrive.

Pets arriving from long international flights can be waiting as long as up to 48 hours for the initial PEQ health check when immediate attention may be required. To quote the department of Agriculture “International travel can cause them to de-stabilise and rapidly deteriorate.”

Which I believe is why there are an increase in pet deaths in PEQ.

By signing our petition (and sharing) you will be helping us to pressure them for :

- Around the clock supervision

- Provide on-site veterinarians, vet nurses and emergency hospital.

- To request immediate health check up on arrival

Knowledge is power. If you’re sitting on the fence about signing our petition. Please read the facts in the department’s own words. We are requesting 24 hour supervision and onsite medical care for pets, in order to prevent further deaths in PEQ. So if you haven’t signed…. Please read and then go to our petition. Thank you for your support!

Calling all animal lovers worldwide!

ANIMALS ARE DYING IN AUSTRALIAN PET QUARANTINE DUE TO LACK OF CARE!

There has been an increase of deaths in PEQ (Post Entry Quarantine).

If that’s not bad enough for the grieving owners, their deceased
pets cannot be returned and as PEQ don’t have cremation services, distraught owners cannot have their pets ashes either!

HOW MANY OF THESE DEATHS WERE PREVENTABLE?

It can take up to 48 hours for initial health check even though the government recently said “International travel can cause them to de-stabilise and rapidly deteriorate.”

During their 10 day mandatory stay, pets don’t have access to on-site veterinarians and vet nurses or even an IV drip.

PEQ email owners (who usually are still overseas, in a different time zone)are left to organise their own emergency vet. If the vet is booked up or can’t get there by 4pm closing. A pet could be left suffering for a day or two. Scary when you think how rapidly a sick pet can go downhill!

Usually pets are already stressed, sometimes depressed and it’s common for them to refuse to eat (in itself already dangerous!)
It’s also disturbing that pets are left unsupervised 17 hours a day.

THIS IS ANIMAL CRUELTY!

Every animal should have immediate access to immediate veterinary care that they would outside PEQ and to be treated in a vet clinic with diagnostic and surgery equipment when critically ill. No animal should be left suffering in pain and distress. To die from not having access to a vet or life saving surgery. To die alone or a slow, painful death due to no vet being present. Is total neglect by the Australian government.

THIS MUST STOP NOW!

Please help these beautiful babies by signing our petition and spreading awareness far and wide to the nightmare these animals face. We hope to pressure the government into providing a on-site emergency veterinary hospital with veterinary staff providing around the clock care. Also, providing additional husbandry staff to do the night shift, so no animal is never alone in their hour of need!

Please note: PEQ facility Cost $379 million to build with multiple compounds for plants, horse racing, bees etc. They can afford to implement this!

*IMPORTANT*

We all know that our fur-babies are food orientated. So given that we spend all this money to transport them to Australia and are stressed about their general well-being.

It’s vitally important we are concerned about them wanting to eat in PEQ.

Why?

It’s very common for our fur-babies to go off food whilst in quarantine. It’s very unlikely that they wouldn’t have ate much while in transit or on the flight.

* Dogs can only go a few days without eating and then they need to see a vet!

* Cats that stop eating and rapidly lose weight can result in a dangerous condition called hepatic lipidosis, which can lead to liver failure!

This is why PEQ monitor your pets eating habits and weigh them daily!

For what you think you might be saving by not sending them food ahead, think about how much a call out vet is going to cost you. The stress it will cause you trying to get a chicken delivered, especially out of hours, over weekends and public holidays. Sending emergency commercial pet food that is likely to take couple of days, which can also be held up due to weekends etc.

I can’t stress enough how important it is to be proactive and DO SOMETHING before your pet arrives at PEQ.

By default your pet is feed once a day and it’s dry kibble. Don’t just assume that in a highly stressed state where your pet doesn’t want to eat, that dry kibble is going to be appetising to them, especially, if they don’t like the taste of that particular kibble.

Obviously, anyone that has a pet with special dietary requirements is going to get a vet to fill out the special form and send food ahead.

I’m more concerned about the pets that don’t need gluten free kibble. That are fussy.

If your pet eats twice a day.
If your pet prefers wet food.
If your pet prefers a combination of both dry and wet.
If your pets won’t eat until their food is topped with something extra.
If your pets are just plain fussy and are particular about what food brands they eat.
Even if they aren’t fussy, make an effort to get them food they will love to eat!

Get the form filled out! Send them some food!

Any leftovers will be returned to you!

Here are some pet shops online that you can use :
My pet warehouse
Pet barn
Pet stock
Pet circle

You can of course use others and even try Amazon.

I also encourage you to email PEQ first : [email protected]
and see what brands of dry and wet food they have on hand before your order gf or food in general.

I ordered three varieties of gluten free wet food for my cats as well as kibble , thinking it’s better for their tummies. At home they would only eat ONE gf brand (and we tested every brand in the UK). It was one of the most expensive, came in a multipack of flavours where they only liked two flavours. Eventually, we gave up, let them have their kitty McDonald’s balancing it out with human grade tuna in spring water and gf kibble they actually liked!

So I shouldn’t have been surprised when PEQ emailed me to say they were not eating and could they be fed fancy feast instead. Well, yes, of course, they LOVE kitty McDonald’s and sure enough they loved it! They are still eating Fancy Feast now.

So that’s another thing, if you feed them gluten free but they can tolerate a bit of fancy feast or pedigree, it might be better to let them have that to entice their appetite while in PEQ.

For the vet form and food delivery instructions, please see this page.

Burning candles, using air diffusers etc, is a hugely popular pastime but when you have dogs, cats , birds, as members of your household, you’re putting their lives at risk.

I have three indoor cats and two Goldies. If I want candles in winter, I use LED candles.

If I had a desire to burn essential oils, I would go into a room they couldn’t access, because their health and well-being is everything to us.

PEQ latest announcement

As of 1 March 2021, the import permit will be valid for 12 months or until the Rabies Neutralising Antibody Titre (RNAT) test expires, whichever occurs first.

If it’s not bad enough you can’t use all of your permit anyway due to the PEQ delays...
