Okay, so I've read through quite a few older threads here on importing pets to NZ.
Wow.
Let me see if I've got this right, as my wife and I have 3 cats and 2 dogs (unfortunately, the 2 ferrets are verbotten in Kiwiland).
They will each need a round of treatments and chips at the vets within 30 days prior that will run about $750US, each.
And, then there's the shipping costs, when the crates are included, roughly the same as a plane ticket for a person ($1500US), each.
Then, there's quarantine in NZ; 10 days, at about $750US, each.
Correct?
That's $15k. $10k, if the cats can be flown in smaller crates, etc.
