Safe & Stress-Free Bird Transport
Every pet finds transport stressful – and birds are no exception. Choose Dogtainers as your bird transport service and trust us to take full care of your feathered friend, minimising stress for your bird.
Dogtainers has been transporting Australian and imported birds for 50 years. Quite simply, we have the knowledge and experience necessary to ship your bird safely.
(To avoid disappointment, we advise you to thoroughly research permits required to send birds domestic. Each state varies in their approach to what they will and won’t accept).
Transporting Feathered Friends
Prior to shipping birds there are simple, easy measures that you can take to help things go smoothly: make sure they have eaten and drunk enough food for example, helping them to feel in tiptop shape during relocation.
We recommend that birds arrive at their departure point as close to their travel time as possible, to prevent stress. Short or long-term boarding can be arranged: just ask.
Please provide full details of your bird’s daily routine and normal level of interaction before boarding, so that this routine can be followed as far as possible. This will help your bird stay happy and relaxed during boarding and transit.
Why You Should Choose Dogtainers
There are four different categories recognised by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources. The categories are based on the rabies risks of animals coming from these countries. Cats and dogs from approved countries are allowed to enter, provided all the veterinary requirements are met.
We are Australia’s largest owner-operated pet transport network and the only pet travel company to have our own offices and staff located in every state in Australia, including the Northern Territory.
Dogtainers has been operating for 50 years, and we import thousands of pets into Australia every year.
We’re an official RSPCA partner and a member of IPATA.
Most importantly, we’re pet lovers just like you! We understand that pets are family, and they deserve to be treated like it.
