🐾 What Is Pet Courier Transport?

Pet courier transport means your cat or dog travels with a dedicated companion on the route. This format is used for international pet travel when the owner cannot travel, when the route is complex, or when additional control over documents, transit and welfare is needed.

🇬🇧 Pet Transport to the United Kingdom

Direct private air transport for pets into the United Kingdom is not available in the standard passenger format. For this reason, pet transport to London is usually organised as a combined journey:

• ✔ flight with a courier to the European Union, most often Paris
• ✔ ground transport from Paris to London or from Calais to London
• ✔ ground section usually takes around 5.5 to 6.5 hours
• ✔ route planning depends on UK entry rules and the full travel itinerary

You can review the UK pet travel rules or request a travel document check before booking.

🌍 Pet Transport from the UK and Other International Routes

Transport from the United Kingdom and between other countries may use different formats depending on the route:

• ✔ courier-supported flights
• ✔ combined flight and ground routes
• ✔ travel via EU transit points
• ✔ individually planned international journeys from London

Routes may include the EU, Turkey, Russia and other international destinations, depending on legal entry requirements and airline availability.

📋 What Documents Are Usually Required?

Document requirements depend on the country of departure, the destination and whether the route includes transit points. In most cases, the journey may require:

• ✔ microchip identification
• ✔ valid rabies vaccination records
• ✔ health certificate or veterinary travel certificate
• ✔ deworming record where required
• ✔ owner and travel authorisation documents when needed
