Ensuring Safe Travels with DEFRA Approved Pet Transport

Relocating internationally with your beloved pet can be a daunting experience, filled with concerns about their comfort, safety, and the complexities of travel regulations. At Pet Moves, we specialise in DEFRA approved pet transport, ensuring a seamless and stress-free journey for both you and your pet.

What is DEFRA Approved Pet Transport?

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) is the UK government body responsible for animal welfare and transportation standards. DEFRA approved pet transport signifies that a service complies with stringent regulations, guaranteeing the highest standards of care and safety for animals during transit. Choosing a DEFRA approved service like Pet Moves ensures your pet’s well-being is prioritised throughout their journey.

The Pet Moves Difference

At Pet Moves, we understand that pets are family. Our mission is to provide a unique, comfortable, and compliant travel experience for you and your pet. Here’s how we make it happen:

1. In-Cabin Travel Experience

Unlike traditional routes that require pets to travel as cargo, we offer a compassionate alternative. By flying into Paris Charles de Gaulle or Paris Orly airports, your pet can accompany you in the cabin, right by your side. This approach minimises stress and ensures a more pleasant experience for your furry friend.

2. Chauffeur Service to the UK

Upon your arrival in Paris, our friendly team will meet you and chauffeur you and your pet to your UK destination in our comfortable, climate-controlled vehicles. Regular comfort breaks are scheduled, allowing your pet to stretch and relax during the journey.

3. Expertise in Documentation and Regulations

Navigating international pet travel regulations can be complex. With over 20 years of experience, our DEFRA approved pet transport service offers guidance and support with all necessary documentation, legal requirements, and veterinary checks. We ensure all paperwork is in order, providing you with peace of mind.

4. Personalised, One-to-One Service

Each pet move is exclusive to you and your family. You won’t share the journey with other travellers, and your pet won’t be confined with numerous other animals. This personalised approach ensures dedicated attention to your pet’s needs.

How It Works

Embarking on a journey with Pet Moves is straightforward:

  1. Flight to Paris: Book a direct flight to Paris Charles de Gaulle or Paris Orly airport, allowing your pet to travel in the cabin with you.

  2. Chauffeur to the UK: We’ll meet you upon arrival and transport you and your pet to your UK destination, whether it’s in London, Folkestone, or elsewhere in the South East of England.

  3. Assistance with Paperwork: We provide guidance and support with all necessary pet travel documents, ensuring compliance with DEFRA approved pet transport regulations.
