Melbourne to the UK with Dogs

Three years ago, we made the big move from Melbourne to the UK. a decision driven by work and the desire for a lifestyle change. But it wasn't just about us; it was about bringing our three fur babies along for the ride.

Moving pets internationally? Let me tell you, it's a mix of excitement, stress, and endless planning. We did our research (and I mean a lot of research) to make sure we chose the best way to get our pets to the UK safely. When we finally arrived and saw them happy and healthy, it was such a relief. Watching them settle into their new home like nothing had happened made all the effort worth it.

Now, life is calling us back to Melbourne, and we're preparing for another big move. This time, we know what to expect, but that doesn't make it any less emotional. Getting our pets ready for the long journey home has brought back all the memories of the first move. It's a long process, especially with the strict rules for entering Australia, but we're taking it one step at a time.

It's funny how these experiences stay with you. Seeing how resilient and adaptable our pets are has been a reminder of why we do it, they're family, and there's no question about bringing them along.

Have you ever had to move with your pets? What was it like for you? If you're planning a big relocation, I'd definitely recommend looking into JCS Pet Travel, they've been with us every step of the way.
