Pet Travel to the UK: How Pet Moves Can Make Your Journey Seamless

Travelling to the UK with your pet? For many pet owners, pet travel to the UK can seem like a daunting task due to complex regulations, lengthy travel times, and the thought of pets being placed in cargo. But at Pet Moves, we believe pets deserve a travel experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. With our unique travel solution, depending on the size of your pet, your pet doesn’t have to travel in the cargo hold – instead, they can travel by your side, experiencing the journey with comfort and care.

Why Not Directly to the UK?

When flying to the UK, pet travel regulations often mean that pets must travel as cargo, which can be stressful for both pets and their owners. That’s where Pet Moves comes in. Our alternative route means that instead of flying directly to the UK, you and your pet fly into Paris, where your pet can often accompany you in the cabin, even for larger dogs. Once you land in Paris, we’ll meet you and chauffeur you both directly to the UK. This way, you and your pet are together every step of the journey.

Our Door-to-Door Pet Travel Service

Pet Moves provides a full, door-to-door service that includes:

  1. Meeting You in Paris: Once you land, we’ll be there to greet you and help with any final paperwork or pet needs.
  2. Pet Chauffeuring: Our comfortable pet transport vehicle is ready for you and your pet, complete with all the essentials to make the trip safe and relaxing.
  3. Personalised Service: With Pet Moves, every journey is exclusive. We don’t mix clients, so it’s just you, your pet, and our team, ensuring a stress-free, comfortable ride to your UK destination.
  4. Return Journey Assistance: Planning to go back? We can help with your pet’s journey home too, including paperwork and arrangements on the return leg.

Navigating UK Pet Travel Regulations

At Pet Moves, we know the ins and outs of pet travel documentation and requirements. For the UK, this includes:

  • Up-to-date vaccinations
  • Microchip
  • Rabies vaccination (administered at least 21 days prior to travel)
  • Necessary health certificates

To make sure you’re fully prepared, we offer a document check service to ensure all your pet’s paperwork is complete and correct, giving you added peace of mind before your journey begins.
