  • We recently moved from California in the USA to New Zealand and this is how we brought our dog with us. From shots, vaccinations, to veterinary appointments, booking flights, and quarantine, it's a complicated process and this video will help you figure it out.
    I'm Alex, a.k.a Alex The Vagabond and I'm a travel filmmaker, photographer, and TV host. On this channel, I'll share some travel guides, motivational and inspirational videos from lessons I've learned during my life, and cooking recipes from international cuisine using vegetables grown in my home garden. Hopefully, my videos will help you learn new skills, find happiness, inspire exploration, and grow your creativity. Stay tuned friends!

    Hey friends, I want to apologize for picking up my phone while driving.
    My grandmother who I haven’t seen in months and is very dear to me called right before we picked up Lanka. I was excited and hadn’t spoken to her in a while and shouldn’t have picked up the phone. It was a spur of the moment mistake and not something I do. Please accept my apologies.
    Sending love ✌🏼❤️

    When you were calling the quarantine facility, the way the lady's voice lit up when you mentioned Lanka was very heart-warming. You can tell he was being looked after by people who genuinely love and care for animals, rather than people who just see them as a means to a paycheck. Definitely the kind of people you want looking after your fur babies. 🥰

    So glad the phone issue has been highlighted! Driving and talking/video chatting without handsfree/Bluetooth is illegal in NZ and Australia! Touching your phone while driving or stopped at traffic lights can get you a fine! Might pay to get a road code and read up so you don't get a fine!

    What a great video I really appreciate it. Thanks for showing PetHaven, I’m flying my dog to New Zealand from the USA next February and I was hesitating between the three facilities, but have been corresponding with pethaven, they’ve been so good at replying to all my emails, and they said they’re the only ones with some kennels from which dogs can not only smell but see the green grass and the trees, and lay in the sun in the outer kennel. And your video shows it!! Looks like such a calm place, I heard no dogs barking? Is that right? Luna would be stressed by too much barking, she’s been attacked by other dogs many times… ( by the way, something in your video is not correct anymore, you say it was a requirement before to use a pet shipper, not anymore. Some airlines restric it, but not AA for instance. You can fly your dog AA cargo one way from the USA to AKL for 715 usd, provided you take care of all the paperwork correctly… and having shipped Luna myself to many countries before, I started to do just that.. ). But guys, thanks for the video, can’t wait to be there next February. At pethaven, how many times a day do they come into your dog’s kennel to play and interact with it ? Thanks guys.

But the folks at Pet Haven took great care of her. We are now 4 years on with a 2 year old and another beautiful dog "Otter" and building our own eco home in the countryside and have our dream jobs!! Dreams DO come true. Love watching you guys! Would love Lanka to meet Otter and Sushi if you guys ever fancied a walk and a beer. We are down in the Bay of Plenty (Mount Maunganui).

    As a fellow American and a permanent resident of NZ for over 15 years, I would love to know how you got dual citizenship. I am a Us Army veteran and if I give up my citizenship I will lose my social security and my right to a military funeral. How hard was it and how did you go about it? Getting dual citizenship.

      To take an animal from New Zealand to other countries is generally easier than bringing animals in to New Zealand, I believe. As Alex mentioned, being an island nation we don’t have many of the endemic diseases (such as rabies) that are more common in much of Europe and the Americas. Friends who brought their pets back from Australia to New Zealand said it cost twice as much to bring their dog in, compared to what they paid per person (and that was just from Australia).

    A gr8 dog blog! Supercute. I highly recommend getting dog insurance! If something goes wrong with Lanka whether by accident or health it can be very expensive.. This comes from experience! These two companies are at the top of the pile. My dog is with Petplan and Southern Cross is another that comes recommended. Keep up the good work.
