Our Transport Services
Within the UK, Pet Transport Services handles a wide range of relocation needs, including puppy and kitten collections from breeders, assistance during house moves, and other bespoke pet journeys designed to fit individual schedules. For cross-border travel, the company operates cost-effective, scheduled trips every two weeks, serving major routes between the UK and Europe. These regular services ensure reliable connections and clear timelines for pet owners relocating to or from France, Belgium, Switzerland, western Germany, Spain, and Portugal.

Dedicated Care and Safety
As passionate animal lovers, the team treats every pet as one of their own. During transit, vehicles make frequent stops in secure areas away from traffic, allowing dogs to stretch their legs and maintain familiar routines. Fresh water is supplied throughout the journey to keep pets hydrated, and feeding schedules are strictly adhered to using food provided by the owner. All staff have undertaken comprehensive pet first aid training with the PDSA, ensuring readiness to respond to health concerns en route.

Modern Fleet and Tracking
The fleet comprises a variety of vehicle sizes equipped to accommodate different pet profiles, featuring insulated interiors and independent temperature-controlled heating for winter or night travel, along with advanced cooling systems for warmer climates in Europe. Every vehicle undergoes regular maintenance to the highest technical standards. Satellite tracking systems monitor each journey, and upon request, owners receive detailed reports outlining the route taken, total travel time, and all stops made. Live tracking links can be shared via WhatsApp during transit for real-time updates.

Regulatory Compliance and Insurance
Compliance with all UK and EU pet transport regulations is at the heart of the operation. Pet Transport Services holds DEFRA Type 2 licences for domestic travel and DAERA registration for European routes, and fully meets post-Brexit hire-and-reward rules for vehicles over 2.5 tonnes. The company’s insurance policy covers up to £50,000 in veterinary fees should a pet require treatment during transit. Licences and insurance documentation are available for inspection by prospective clients.
