THE PETBUS
Picture
 2019 Dates AUCKLAND to INVERCARGILL RETURN​   
  • The PETBUS will be running Auckland to Dunedin to Gore once a month - Return to Auckland
    We run at the end of, and beginning of each month covering both North and South Island on a 8 day trip. The Petbus does try its best to cover most parts of the country but some areas depends on demand so bookings need to be in  as soon as possible is essential.

  • The Petbus Route and dates below is only a guide - we cover the islands as fast as we can to avoid pets being on the bus for any length of time some days doing 12 to 14 hours - there are two of us on the bus so your pets are cared for at all times and all their needs attended to, we are away for 9 days once a month and although we cant cover everywhere and do ask for some people to met us with us this is best option for pets on board as it saves them being transported unnecessary around the country and unnecessary stress thus getting them to destinations quicker. ​​​
