What is the Cheapest way to send 2 jack russells to the Philippines from the UK?
Steven D asked:
I have been pulling my hair out trying to find a solution for sending my 2 JRT’s to my family in the Philippines, i don’t have much money and my wife, myself and our baby are immigrating to oz as my wife has been accepted for a job there, i cant take them with me because (A) it’s too expensive and (B) we will have to rent for ages before we settle down and i have no one here in the UK to take them and adoption is my last option, 1 crazy idea is to send them to the Philippines where they will be cared for by my wife’s family, i have already got the import permit sorted and can get the iata approved containers, and there medicals sorted, my family will collect them from the airport. I simply cant afford any quotes so far from pet travel agents all over 1k and I’m wondering if anyone knows a way i can put them on an aircraft as cargo and get them to Manila Airport where they will be taken care of from there. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
mmcrobinson, these people don’t seem to operate from the UK, but thanks all the same
Diane S: Of course i agree with you but my hands are tied, one of them is too dependant on the other one and i fear she will not do well if they are separated which adoption will do, besides i don’t trust anyone with them, if i had the money i would take them myself by my side but i am willing to take the risk as the outcome will be benefit everyone and i know they will travel ok and let be honest, pet travel agents don’t do anything with the pets on-board the aircraft, i will make sure they are comfortable and arrive at the airport in good shape but yes it is a long flight. Thanks all the same
wbusykat4: runway pets do not operate in the UK, but thanks all the same
iluvtorofl: Yes of course i have, but its not as “story book” as you make it sound, If i knew anyone who could take them both then i would not be trying to send them to my distant family, if i put them up for adoption then they will most likely be separated and the female would be lost without the male whom she depends on so much, but yes as a last resort i would have no choice but to do this, but i don’t think this should have any bearing on how deeply i care for them but since you ask i would have thought that would have been obvious. Thanks all the same

I am in Canada so I can;t really help, but I would be looking for the safest way for the little ones to travel rather than the cheapest. It’s a very long way for them to travel. I know you don;t have much money, but it’s money wasted sending them if the little ones don;t arrive alive and healthy.
Good luck with your move. I hope you can find a good airline that will take them at a reasonable cost.
Have you tried Runway Pets.com?
Have you considered giving them away to a loving family in the UK? Shipping is a high stress ordeal for the dogs. If you love them dearly, you might consider finding them a home where they can be taken care of in the land they already know.
