Pet transport by road, UK, France and Spain
We collect your dog or cat at home and deliver at the door on the other side. Two staff on board, a stop every 2 to 3 hours and photo updates on the way. Family run from Folkestone, DEFRA Type 2 authorised.
Shared trip
from £695
per pet, one way
Your pet in its own large crate, sharing the vehicle with a few other pets. Our most booked option.
Three ways to travel
Every option is door to door and includes the crossing, regular walk stops and updates. The difference is who is in the vehicle and how flexible the date is.
Your pet travels in its own crate alongside a few other pets on a scheduled trip. Best value, fixed departure dates.
from £695 per pet
The vehicle carries only your pets, on the date you choose. For nervous animals, several pets from one home or a fixed moving date.

How it works
Send the quote form or call. You get a personal quote in writing, usually the same working day.
Pay a deposit to secure the date. The balance is due before departure, no surprise costs on the day.
We go through microchip, rabies vaccination, health certificate and tapeworm treatment with you, so nothing stops your pet at the border.
We collect at your door, settle your pet in a large crate with fresh bedding and send you the first photo before we leave.
Regular walk and water stops, updates on the way and handover at the new address.
What you can hold us to
Your quote covers collection, crossing, delivery and care on board. Extra services such as a health certificate are listed separately before you book.
You receive photos and short videos during the trip, and a message at every major stage: collected, on the crossing, arrived.
On shared trips the driver sleeps in the vehicle with the pets overnight. On designated and owner trips your pet stays with the driver or with you.
Two staff members travel on every trip. One drives, one looks after the animals. Both hold pet first aid training.
The vehicle
Our animal transporter has a separate pet section with climate control, blow air heating, large modular crates that combine for giant breeds, a hydraulic ramp and a camera to the pet area. Behind the cab is a living area, so the driver stays with the animals overnight.

Matthew, Aberdeen · Dec 2024
We traveled to Aberdeen with our best friend Flip. We were a little apprehensive at the sart due to the long journey, but we had a great trip, it was like a mini holiday. We stopped regularly to stretch our legs and have a welcome break. We even had a picnic lunch included. This photo was taken of Flip on a picnic bench in France.Route: To Aberdeen, owner and dog

Stuart & Mandy, Yorkshire · Dec 2024
"Due to relocation to the UK we decided to travel back by road as our dog Mica is getting older and didn't want to put her through the stress of a flight. What a great decision that turned out to be. Totally stress free and lots of great sights along the way.. Fantastic !"Route: Spain to Yorkshire
