Pet Travel from California to the UK with Pet Moves

Relocating from sunny California to the United Kingdom is an exciting adventure, and if you’re a pet owner, ensuring a smooth journey for your furry friend is likely at the top of your list. At Pet Moves, we specialise in making international pet travel simple, stress-free, and safe, so you and your pet can stay together every step of the way.

Here’s how we help California pet owners travel to the UK while keeping their pets right by their side.


Flying to the UK with Your Pet in Comfort

Did you know that pets travelling directly to the UK often have to fly in the cargo hold? At Pet Moves, we’ve found a better way. Instead of flying into Heathrow, you’ll fly to Paris, where your pet can join you in the cabin—even larger dogs in many cases.

From Paris, we provide a personalised chauffeur service that takes you and your pet directly to your UK destination. With us, there’s no separation, no crates in the cargo hold—just a comfortable, seamless journey where your pet stays with you at all times.


What Makes Pet Moves Different?

1. Stress-Free Pet Travel

From start to finish of your pet travel from California to the UK, we handle the logistics to make your journey as relaxing as possible. After meeting you at the Paris airport, we chauffeur you and your pet to the UK in a spacious, pet-friendly vehicle equipped for maximum comfort.

2. Document Expertise

International pet travel can be complicated, especially when it comes to navigating pet import requirements. From microchip compliance to vaccination records, our team is experienced in ensuring all your documents meet UK standards. We even offer a document check service to eliminate any worries.

3. Family-Run Care

As a family-run business, we understand just how much pets mean to their owners. Our team—led by Edward and Barry—treats every pet as if they were our own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for throughout their journey.

4. Comfort for Pets and Owners Alike

We carry all the essentials for your pet’s comfort, including blankets, non-spill water bowls, safety belts, and even enclosed cat toilets. Regular breaks are planned during the journey to ensure your pet stays relaxed and happy.
