Relocating pets to the UK with Pet Moves
Your cats and dogs are family. But if they fly to the UK, they’ll be treated as cargo. Thankfully there’s a better way — the Pet Moves way.
“[Pet Moves] made a highly stressful situation so much easier. Reliable, thorough, very flexible and understanding even when I had to change flights.”
Flying to the UK with pets?
Pet Moves makes it easy with advice, support and pet-friendly travel.
Fly from your location to Paris with your pet beside you in the cabin.
We’ll then take you and your pet from Paris to the UK, via the Eurotunnel, in our chauffeur-driven vehicle.
We can help with those journeys, too.

Here’s how it works in 5 simple steps.
1. Contact Pet Moves for a quote
To get a quote, complete our quote form with your contact and travel details. We can then check our availability and provide a quote.
Your quote will be based on the information you’ve given and will include your Eurotunnel ticket and customs fees.
When you accept the quote, we’ll invoice you for a 50% deposit to secure the dates and to cover our time and expenses in setting up your transfers.
2. Book your flight to Paris
Book your flight to Paris Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG) or Paris Orly (ORY) airport, where small pets can travel in the cabin with you on a direct flight.
Larger pets will be booked as excess luggage and fly in the hold of the same plane.
3. You’ll fly to Paris
You’ll fly to Paris with your pet beside you, or in the hold of your plane.
When you arrive in Paris, you’ll collect your pet at the same time as your luggage and with no extra fees to pay.
4. Your Pet Moves chauffeur will meet you in Paris
Our usual collection points are:
- Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)
- Orly Airport (ORY)
- TGV station for train connections (nearest our regional base)
- Your Paris residence or hotel
- Paris mainline train stations.
Your chauffeur will escort you, your family, pets and luggage to our comfortable, climate-controlled vehicle, then drive you to the Eurotunnel for your crossing.
This will be a relaxed journey, with plenty of comfort breaks for you and your pets.
5. We’ll drop you at your agreed destination point
Our usual destination points are:
- Folkestone Central Station — the nearest train station to the Eurotunnel terminal, with fast trains to London in around an hour
- Dover, for National Car Rental agencies offering one-way hire
