Bringing Your Furry Friend Home: Stress-Free Pet Travel from Saudi Arabia to the UK

Navigating pet travel from Saudi Arabia to the United Kingdom requires careful planning and adherence to specific regulations. At Pet Moves, we specialise in providing a seamless and comfortable journey for you and your beloved companions. We understand that your pets are family, and our unique service is designed to keep you together for as much of the trip as possible, offering a less stressful alternative to traditional cargo transport. If you’re considering pet travel from Saudi Arabia to the UK, here’s how Pet Moves can assist you.

Direct flights for pets from Saudi Arabia to the UK can be complex due to UK regulations, often requiring pets to travel as cargo with potentially long separation times. Pet Moves offers a practical and often more comfortable solution by routing your journey through Paris. This allows smaller pets to travel with you in the cabin on the flight to France. While larger dogs may need to travel in the hold for the Paris leg, they will still board and deplane at the same time as you, significantly reducing their time apart compared to a direct cargo flight to the UK.

The Pet Moves Advantage for Pet Travel From Saudi Arabia:

Choosing Pet Moves for your pet travel from Saudi Arabia to the UK offers several key benefits:

  • Maximising Time Together: Our priority is to ensure you and your pet spend as much of the journey together as possible. By flying via Paris, smaller pets can often travel in the cabin, providing comfort and reducing anxiety. Even for larger pets, the separation time is minimised compared to direct cargo travel to the UK.
  • Stress-Free Transfers in Paris: Upon your arrival at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly (ORY) airport, our dedicated Pet Moves team will be there to greet you and your furry friend. We will then chauffeur you and your pet in a comfortable, climate-controlled vehicle for the onward journey to your final destination in the UK, whether it’s London or elsewhere in the South East.
  • Expert Guidance on Regulations: We are well-versed in the international pet travel regulations, including the specific requirements for pet travel from Saudi Arabia to the UK via France. We provide expert advice and a document check service to ensure all your pet’s paperwork is in order, giving you peace of mind throughout the process.
  • Comfort and Care En Route: Your pet’s comfort and safety are paramount. Our vehicles are equipped with everything needed for a pleasant journey, including pet blankets, non-spill water bowls, secure safety harnesses, microchip scanners, pet wipes, and even enclosed cat carriers. We also schedule regular comfort breaks for your pet to stretch their legs.
  • Door-to-Door Service in the UK: We provide a seamless door-to-door service, picking you and your pet up from the Paris airport and chauffeuring you directly to your home or chosen address in the UK. This eliminates the stress of navigating onward travel with your pet after your flight.
  • DEFRA Approved and Experienced: Pet Moves is a DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) approved company with over two decades of experience in international pet transport. Our expertise ensures a reliable and compliant service.

The Journey: Pet Travel From Saudi Arabia to the UK with Pet Moves:

Here’s a general outline of how pet travel from Saudi Arabia to the UK works with Pet Moves:

  1. Book Your Flight to Paris: You will book a direct flight from Saudi Arabia to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Paris Orly (ORY) airport that allows your pet to travel in the cabin with you if they meet the airline’s size and weight restrictions.
  2. Meet Us in Paris: Upon arrival, the Pet Moves team will meet you and your pet at the agreed-upon location within the airport.
  3. Comfortable Transfer to the UK: You and your pet will travel together in our pet-friendly vehicle for the onward journey to the UK via Eurotunnel or ferry.
  4. Arrival at Your UK Home: We will chauffeur you directly to your residence or chosen destination in the United Kingdom.

Choosing the Paris Route: A Kinder Option for Your Pet:

Opting for the Paris route with Pet Moves offers significant advantages over direct cargo flights to the UK for pets travelling from Saudi Arabia:

  • Reduced Stress for Your Pet: Minimising the time your pet spends alone in potentially unfamiliar cargo holds is crucial for their well-being.
  • Cabin Comfort for Smaller Pets: Allowing smaller pets to travel in the cabin provides them with the security of your presence.
  • Simultaneous Arrival: Even larger pets travelling in the hold to Paris arrive at the same time as you, allowing for a quicker reunion.
  • Potentially More Cost-Effective: In many cases, our service via Paris can be a more economical option than direct air cargo to the UK.
