Australia’s most experienced

Dogtainers provides quality and flexible domestic pet transport services — both air and road — from all major cities across Australia. Whether you’re moving homes or you’ve adopted a new friend, we can create a tailor-made Aussie pet transport solution for you, from door-to-door service to airport-to-airport.

Domestic pet travel involves more complexity than most owners expect — airline breed restrictions, IATA crate sizing regulations, state-based biosecurity requirements, and tightly-scheduled flight connections that leave no room for error. Our specialists manage every detail in-house so the experience is completely effortless for you and your pet.

We proudly partner with Australia’s leading domestic airlines including Qantas, Virgin Australia and Rex Airlines.

Any animal. Anywhere in Australia. Anytime.

STEP 01

Getting used to the crate

To keep your pet comfortable throughout their journey, crates are selected based on their individual measurements so they can easily stand, sit, and lie down. We organise this well in advance so your pet feels at home before the big day. You can also buy or hire an airline-approved travel crate from our IATA specified stock.

Crate preparation included Your consultant organises sizing & setup at your home.

STEP 02

Pick up for departure

Your pet will be collected in a climate-controlled, pet-friendly vehicle by a pet handling specialist and transported to our premium holding facilities before travelling. We treat every animal as if it were our own — no depot drop-offs, no stress.

Door-to-door service We come to you — no depot or airport drop-off needed.
