Ronan Keating has shelled out a whopping £13,000 to fly his new pooch home for Christmas. The Boyzone star, 47, shared snaps of Cane Corso, Saint, onboard the aircraft, which was supplied by K9 Jets, posing on a grey fluffy blanket, alongside Ronan's wife, Storm, 43. The pet-dedicated charter service is eye-wateringly expensive, with just one seat costing as much as $16,000 (£13,000).
The singer also shared a photo of himself walking the enormous dog onto the jet, which is bound for Australia where Ronan and Storm will be spending the next few months with their family. The Life Is A Rollercoaster star was also accompanied by his pet cat for the journey Down Under, making his furry family complete.
The epic trip was celebrated by Ambassador Protection Dogs, with the company sharing a video of the flight on Instagram and writing: “I get to meet some amazing people doing what I do and gotta say @rokeating and his lovely family are true dog lovers and it’s always a highlight to get to see them and work with the big lad Saint, undoubtedly one of the finest dogs we’ve ever supplied.”.
The company specialise in family protection dogs, emotional support dogs and highly trained pets, with the Cane Corso being a prominent breed for this need. Speaking about Ronan's decision to buy the sizeable hound, an insider told The Sun: "Ronan wants to keep his family safe and you can't put a price on that. He's known other celebs who've used the same company so they came highly recommended.".
Bringing the pets over for the holidays, Ronan later praised the pet-specific airline and wrote: “Got our other babies safe and sound. Massive thank you to Adam and all the team @k9jets_ WOW what an incredibly easy and enjoyable experience #classservice #canttopthat #insane.”.
