Easy Pet Travel from New York with Pet Moves

Travelling internationally with your pet can be a stressful experience, especially when navigating airline restrictions and import regulations. At Pet Moves, we specialise in ensuring easy pet travel from New York, offering a seamless, stress-free journey for both you and your furry companion. Whether you’re relocating or visiting the UK, we make sure your pet travels comfortably by your side every step of the way.

The Challenges of Direct Flights to the UK

For pet owners flying from New York to the UK, one of the biggest hurdles is airline regulations. UK laws require pets to travel as cargo if flying directly into airports like Heathrow or Gatwick, meaning they must be placed in a crate and transported in the aircraft’s hold. This process can be stressful for pets, as they are separated from their owners and subjected to extended waiting times upon arrival.

Instead of enduring this, Pet Moves offers an alternative route that ensures your pet remains safe, comfortable, and close to you throughout the journey.

Our Stress-Free Alternative: Flying via Paris

Our solution for easy pet travel from New York involves flying into Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly Airport instead of the UK. This method offers several benefits:

  • Cabin Travel for Smaller Pets – Many airlines allow small pets to travel in the cabin with their owners when flying to Paris, offering reassurance and comfort throughout the flight.
  • Less Stress for Larger Dogs – Even for larger dogs that must travel in the hold, they will still board and exit the plane with you, spending less time away from you.
  • No Extended Waiting Periods – Unlike in the UK, pets arriving in France experience faster processing and no long cargo delays.

Once you land in Paris, Pet Moves provides a private chauffeur service to take you and your pet comfortably to the UK.

Chauffeur Service from Paris to the UK

Upon arrival in Paris, our pet-friendly chauffeur service ensures a smooth, relaxing journey to your final destination in the UK. We provide:

  • Comfortable, climate-controlled vehicles
  • Regular comfort breaks for both you and your pet
  • Pet-friendly amenities, including blankets, water bowls, and safety restraints
  • Personalised, one-on-one service—your pet will never be crated with other animals

This door-to-door service ensures that your pet remains by your side throughout the trip, avoiding unnecessary stress and discomfort.
