International Pet Transport from New Zealand to the world

When your family is moving overseas, your pets aren’t just “cargo” — they’re part of the family. At Pet Transport NZ, we’ve spent 5 decades shipping pets internationally from our base at Auckland Airport, ensuring every pet's journey is safe, compliant, and as stress-free as possible.  We specialise in international-only IATA, MPI and BOAS certified pet travel for long-haul comfort, large breeds, brachycephalic pets and families travelling with multiple animals. We're IPATA certified and GEM network founding partners; from the first consultation to your happy pet reunion, you can trust us to handle every detail.
