Travel With Your Dog to Europe: A Guide with Pet Moves

Planning to travel with your dog to Europe is an exciting prospect, and at Pet Moves, we specialise in making the journey as smooth and comfortable as possible. Whether you’re heading to France, exploring the scenic routes of Italy, or venturing into the charming cities of Spain, traveling with your dog to Europe should be a stress-free experience. Here’s everything you need to know to ensure that your pet’s journey is as enjoyable as yours!

Why Travel With Your Dog to Europe?

When you choose to travel with your dog to Europe, you’re doing more than just taking them on holiday—you’re keeping them by your side as part of the adventure. Traveling with Pet Moves means your pet travels as a first-class passenger, not cargo. Here’s why flying to Europe, particularly through Paris, can make all the difference:

  1. Cabin Travel Options: By flying to Paris, you can often keep your dog with you in the cabin, which significantly reduces their stress. Even larger dogs may qualify for this option, giving them a more familiar and reassuring travel experience.
  2. Avoiding Cargo Travel: Many countries, including the UK, require pets to fly as cargo, but traveling through France bypasses this restriction. This keeps your dog right by your side from departure to arrival.
  3. Scenic Chauffeur Experience: Once you land in Paris, Pet Moves ensures your journey to the UK is smooth, with a comfortable, pet-friendly chauffeur service through the beautiful French countryside. It’s a wonderful way to keep your dog close while you travel through Europe’s scenic routes.

Planning Ahead for a Stress-Free Experience

As experts in pet travel, Pet Moves helps guide you through essential steps for a seamless journey. Here’s what to consider before you travel with your dog to Europe:

  1. Ensure Proper Documentation: Pet Moves offers a detailed document check service to help you confirm that your dog has all required vaccinations, a valid pet passport, and a microchip. Each country in Europe has specific pet travel requirements, and we’re here to help ensure that everything is in order.
  2. Choose a Pet-Friendly Airline: When you book a flight to Europe, selecting a pet-friendly airline is key. Many airlines offer special cabin arrangements for pets flying into Europe, particularly to Paris. Our team can offer recommendations on airlines that make pet travel a priority.
  3. Chauffeured Comfort from Paris to the UK: When you fly into Paris instead of London, Pet Moves will be waiting at the airport to chauffeur you and your dog to the UK. This offers peace of mind knowing you’re not separated at any point during the journey, which is less stressful for your dog and more enjoyable for you!
