How PetAeron Takes Care of Your Pet During Relocation to Wellington
MPI Compliance, Auckland Quarantine & Onward Wellington Transfer — Fully Managed by One Team
Relocating a pet to Wellington is a two-stage journey — your pet flies into Auckland as the mandatory port of entry, completes 10 days of quarantine, receives MPI clearance, and then travels onward to Wellington. Each of these stages has strict compliance requirements, tight deadlines, and zero margin for documentation errors. PetAeron manages every single one of them so you don’t have to.
Auckland Quarantine Pre-Booking — The First Step for Every Wellington Move
Every pet relocating from India to Wellington enters New Zealand through Auckland and completes a mandatory 10-day quarantine at an MPI-approved Auckland facility. This quarantine booking must be confirmed and included in your MPI import permit application before the permit can be filed — which itself must be submitted 30 working days before travel. PetAeron secures your Auckland quarantine slot first, before anything else moves, so the entire Wellington relocation timeline is built on a confirmed foundation. We provide daily photo updates during your pet’s 10-day Auckland quarantine stay so you are never without information.
MPI Import Permit — Filed Correctly, Filed on Time
The MPI import permit is a mandatory document for all pets travelling from India to Wellington. It must be applied for at least 30 working days before your pet’s travel date, and the application requires your RNATT lab report, government-endorsed health certificate, and Auckland quarantine booking confirmation to all be ready at the same time. PetAeron prepares and submits the full online permit application, uploads every required document, and monitors the permit status so there is never a gap between permit issuance and your departure.
IATA Crate — Measured, Supplied & Fitted for Your Pet
Pets flying into Auckland as manifested cargo must travel in a correctly measured, airline-compliant IATA-approved crate. An incorrectly sized crate means your pet cannot board — and your Wellington timeline collapses. PetAeron measures your pet precisely — height, length, and shoulder width — and supplies an IATA-compliant crate sized to meet both airline standards and MPI biosecurity requirements. We also run a pre-travel crate familiarisation programme so your pet is relaxed and comfortable on departure day, not stressed or reluctant to enter the crate at the airport.
Airline Cargo Booking into Auckland for Wellington-Bound Pets
Pets relocating to Wellington fly into Auckland Airport (AKL) as the mandatory New Zealand entry point, then travel onward by road. PetAeron identifies the right pet-friendly carrier for your pet’s breed, size, and India departure city, confirms the live animal cargo slot, and manages the complete airline booking — including all breed-specific and seasonal restrictions that apply to live animal cargo. Some airlines require all live animal bookings to be made through a professional pet shipper, not directly by the owner. PetAeron handles this on your behalf.
AQCS Export Clearance from India
Before your pet boards any flight toward Wellington, it must clear India’s Animal Quarantine and Certification Services (AQCS). PetAeron prepares and submits the complete AQCS application — government-endorsed health certificate, fit-to-fly declaration, and export NOC — and accompanies your pet through clearance at your India departure airport, whether that is Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, or Chennai.
Real-Time Updates from India Pickup to Auckland Quarantine
From the moment our handler collects your pet at your home in India, you receive WhatsApp photo updates at every stage — pickup, airport arrival, departure confirmation, in-transit check, Auckland Airport arrival, and quarantine facility check-in. Customs and biosecurity clearance in Auckland can take several hours. PetAeron keeps you updated throughout that window so you always know exactly where your dog or cat is.
Auckland Quarantine Monitoring & Wellington Transfer
PetAeron monitors your pet’s full 10-day Auckland quarantine stay and provides daily updates on welfare, feeding, and veterinary checks. Once your pet receives MPI clearance on day 10, our team coordinates the release from the Auckland quarantine facility and arranges the onward road transfer to your Wellington address. Your pet’s journey is not complete until it is back in your arms at your new Wellington home.
