Pet Travel Clinic - for all your pet relocation
Paws Resort has Dr Kristine Page as the in-house vet. We offer a Pet Travel Clinic service, in which we can perform all of the required tests, treatments and examinations to prepare your pet for export to Australia, New Zealand, the UK, USA, Mauritius, UAE, or any country in the world! We will do all administration required, apply for your pet’s export permit from the relevant country (some exceptions apply) and take care of all State Vet certification and veterinary health certificates. For Australian and New Zealand relocations, we will also provide assistance in booking your pets into the post-export quarantine station in your destination country.
We offer home visit services for the RNATT blood sampling appointments, within a reasonable radius of our premises, and provisional on availability, as it is a high-demand service. For certain destination countries, we also offer home visits for the pre-export health check.
Export Pets to Australia
We can assist you with all the complexities of the veterinary and administrative pre-export preparation of your pets for export to Australia.
The Australian import requirements for dogs and cats being exported to Australia are detailed. There are several blood tests and veterinary treatments to be done, and there are also certain waiting periods and limited test and treatment validities. Our service is to provide all these services, and guide you confidently through the entire process. We recommend beginning the pre-export preparation a minimum of 7 months in advance of your intended departure date.
They also require an Australian import permit, which we will apply for and the cost of which is included in our service package. After arrival in Australia, they will need to spend a minimum of 10 days in a post-export quarantine facility in Australia after they leave South Africa.
Exports Pets to New Zealand
If you are relocating to New Zealand and would like to take your pets with you, there is some detailed veterinary and administrative pre-export preparation required for them to be eligible for export. Paws Resort can assist you with the entire process.

We will provide you with detailed instructions and a timing schedule for the requirements of your destination country. We can do all required blood testing and health examinations required for the export of your pets to the destination country, as well as preparing the veterinary health certificate and obtaining the required South African State Vet endorsement of the export documents.
We offer the option of a Home Visit service for RNATT blood testing (if your destination country requires it) and for the final pre-export health check, required prior to the departure date. There are certain terms and conditions applicable to this specialised service.
We can assist in the veterinary pre-export preparation of pets to any country. If we have not previously exported pets to your destination country, we can assist you in researching the requirements of export as far as we are able to and can then provide the necessary veterinary pre-export preparation for the requirements of the destination country.
