Hi there saw your plea for help it is quite straight forward to take dogs to New Zealand as ive looked into it for my own dog. As Taffy said you need pets to be identichipped and vaccinated but be careful as i took my own dog for her booster jabs yesterday and they couldnt do them as one of the viruses we protect dogs against is not a problem in NZ and therefore the blood test before taking dog may show up the disease whereas it is only really the vaccination that they have had (Does that make sense). The other good thing about taking your dog is there is no quarentine law from UK to NZ so dog gets off plane and goes home with you. How much of a relief is that! Another thing i have found useful is this website should tell you all you need to know. Good luck
