Petbus Limited

Get Prices Get no-obligation quotes.  (All Covered. No Hassle.)
The best 1st class pet transporter in the North & South Island.

Individual crated inbuilt crates on board. Our coachline is fully air-conditioned/heated to a stable temperature 24/7.

Your pet will arrive healthy and happy with the PETBUS.

All pets on board are with someone 24/7 during transportation; we do not lock the bus at night and go into our accommodation. We sleep have full sleeping facilities on board.

Pets are covered by Pet Insurance while in transit (optional cover). Petbus holds and carries a full Goods and Service license and a class 2 license to operate this company, and the business complies with the Code of Recommendations and Minimum Standards for the Welfare of Animals Transported within New Zealand.

Your pet needs to be cared for when travelling distances, with the PETBUS your pet receives personnel one-on-one care, and all needs are attended to, watered regularly, fed and fresh bedding when required.

It's a stressful time for any animal when they have to be moved to new homes; with the PETBUS you know that they will be getting the best care possible to make the journey as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Transportation crates are included in the price for cats, kittens, puppies, dogs, and rabbits, so there is no need to have the hassles of posting back cages in the mail.
Poultry can also be transported in crates available but incur a hire fee as so birds.
Other Birds need to come in a transport-sized cage ready for transport.

We consider ourselves the BEST in the business; our high standard of care speaks for itself in our feedback section below.

We pride ourselves on pets getting to their destinations as quickly as possible; this is our main priority. The shorter the time, the less stress. This is why we have meeting points only and don't offer a door-to-door option.

NO PETS ARE ON THE PETBUS LONGER THAN 2 NIGHTS IN THE NORTH ISLAND AND 3 NIGHTS TO DUNEDIN FROM AUCKLAND.

Incredible service, we have absolutely zero complaints. They took such amazing care of our puppy, kept him happy and comfortable. Whenever he had a mess, he was cleaned up so quickly. PetBus were constantly checking in on him and giving him cuddles, we HIGHLY recommend PetBus to other pet parents. 10/10 service. THANK YOU petbus!

Thank you so much. What a smooth experience, took a lot of my stress away when I didn't want to throw my cat on a plane. Only downfall was no matter what I couldn't see where the bus was on the tracker page/map so I gave up with that.
Appreciated the clear instructions and reminder texts also. Would definitely book again but here's hoping I never have to move a companion animal long distance again anyway! Thanks again for bringing my kitty 🐈 home safely. 🤗

Sorry the booklet was left on the bus, we did post this immediately once we go off the road (free of charge). Kind Regards, Petbus

Hello Dave,
Please can you let us know where we went wrong with your low scores.
As far as we are aware our punctuality was on time, and puppy was cared for very well and happy. Can you please provide us with more information so we can work to improve on services.
Thank you

Excellent care of my pet and prompt communication, the lady on the bus was very kind too, the tracker is also a great tool. Minor issue with meeting time changing by an hour and 20 mins earlier with notice the 2 days before, otherwise all good and would use again.

Hello, we are sorry to hear that you don't think our service was a 10/10 service.
Our boking confirmation that was emailed does advise that all times are only estimated as anything can happen when providing a road transport service.
Thank you,
Kind Regards
