Our drivers are well-versed in transporting your pets in different European Union countries. They also know what requirements they need to show when they enter the border of that particular country from Edinburgh. Suppose you are visiting Jutland in Denmark. Then, your pet should be microchipped and vaccinated adequately against any disease. This documentation is essential for our drivers to show on the border and for you as well if you are travelling with your pet.

What Our Happy Clients Say
Repatriation after 16 years.
After 16 years living & working overseas, we recently repatriated from Hong Kong to Somerset, Wow, what can we say about Darren, apart from running a great legitimate & fully licensed business, with all requisite knowledge of the trade & border formalities, Darren showed absolute care & consideration not only to his paying customers, but also our furry friends. Nothing short of SUPERB, 10/10. It’s not easy moving 10,000km, but this leg of the journey, whilst long, was utterly seamless & ultimately stress-free.
Iain Brymer, HK
Great Service
"We live in Oman and from a rescue organisation we brought 2 dogs (rescues) and a cat back with us to the Netherlands. Darren and his wife met us at the arrival hall and drove them to their forever homes in the UK. The communication went smoothly and we all received updates on their well-being. It was a pleasant experience for all! Can highly recommend the service.”
Maggie, NL
An absolute trooper
Sunderland to Plymouth
Great price, very competitive. Our cats arrived totally chilled, didn't seem bothered about the journey at all. Darren was also very understanding and easy to deal with. It all went really smoothly and he didn't even need to take us up on the offer of a cup of tea when he arrived! Also, I'm pretty certain that if anyone tried to nab the cats, it wouldn't have gone well for them!

Do Owners Have to Travel with Their Pets?While pets generally experience less stress when travelling with their owners, we understand that it's not always feasible. Therefore, we also offer a dedicated service where pets can travel alone, ensuring they are well-cared for even without the owner's presence.
-
Does My Dog Have to Be in a Crate?Not necessarily. We appreciate the company of well-behaved dogs and allow them to sit with their owners, provided they are harnessed and securely hooked in. This ensures safety while allowing some freedom for the dog to relax.

Why Are Some Transporters Offering a Pet to Travel for £600 from Spain to the UK?This rate is typically offered by transporters who operate multi-pet transport services, meaning your pet would travel with several others. Our approach differs as we prioritise the welfare of animals by not crowding them with many others, which we believe is more conducive to their well-being.

I Want to Bring a Puppy to the UK. What Should I Know?Importing a puppy to the UK should be handled by a commercial importer to ensure compliance with all regulations.

I Have Been Offered Cheap Transport. Why Should I Not Take the Offer?Be very careful. It's estimated that 80% of pet transport companies operating in the EU might be doing so illegally.

Some necessary licences include: Driver Competence Certificate Vehicle Inspection Certificate DEFRA Operators License EU Operators License EU Vehicle Inspection Certificate Additionally, proper insurance for hire and reward must be in place to operate legally.
