Bringing pets into New Zealand?
Come and stay with us. Before starting their New Zealand life, your cat or dog must meet specific health standards and that involves 10 days in quarantine in NZ.
Apart from cats and dogs arriving from Australia who get cleared on entry, all cats and dogs entering New Zealand must be transferred to a quarantine facility.
Why choose our cat and dog quarantine facility?
Your cat or dog will be well looked after in our fully air-conditioned quarantine facility set on 10 acres of beautiful rural countryside, surrounded by farmland.
Our facility is state-of-the-art, clean, comfortable and climate controlled. We have vets on call and 8 on-site staff whose job it is to cuddle, entertain and look after your fur family when you can’t. We think we’re the No 1 New Zealand pet quarantine facility.
Upon arrival in New Zealand your pet will need the right documents to go through customs, and then we can pick them up for you.
We are only 15 minutes from Auckland International Airport and 6 minutes from the Auckland motorway, so coming to stay with us after their flight is quick and easy.
Our New Zealand pet quarantine team has many years of experience, expertise and knowledge. They are passionate animal lovers and are fully trained to take care of all your pet quarantine, transport and boarding needs from the moment your cat or dog arrives to the moment they leave for their new home in New Zealand.
