Dogs to the UK – Pet travel

Dog Travel to UK, Australia and New Zealand and anywhere else in the world

Moving you dog or moving pets to another country can be a stressful – add to that all the other things you need to worry about when moving overseas, you will want a pet travel company that can handle all of the red tape. Any dog travel or cat travel will need a pile of documentation. When you transport dog to foreign countries you will need to know what the policy is on pets in regards to quarantine and inoculations – some countries do not allow certain breeds at all. When moving a dog to UK the regulations have been relaxed but there are still requirements.

We are going where?
When moving pets to the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand you will need to know about the long quarantine time which is required for these countries. Animal Travel will be able to guide and advise you with regard to the quarantine details. We know where the best  kennels are, as we visit the UK kennels ourselves every few years. If you need more information regarding quarantine contact us at Animal Travel Agencies. There are several players in the market – and as with all business, some are good and others are fly by night. There are also several pet scamming companies using pet travel companies as a front for their operations. Do some research on the companies that you plan to deal with – if you can visit the premises and make sure that they are a real business. While in some companies age does not matter – in the animal travel game it is advisable to do business with a company that has some kind of track record. They should have built up contacts in all the countries that they are sending pets to – and it takes time to build solid, trustworthy contacts and associates in foreign countries.

When boarding is needed in South Africa, we make use of only reputable, licensed boarding kennels, and mostly those which are members of the Pet Boarding Association. Animal Travel Agencies is very well known to all the embassies, removal companies and large companies who relocate their people (and pets)l to destinations around the globe. With 25 years of pet transport experience, your dog, cat, or any other pet, will be in good (and caring) hands. When you fly with you pet it is a bit easier than sending your pet by itself – but both methods need to be done properly to avoid sometimes very expensive mistakes. Even the kind of wooden box you use is regulated – the size, the shape and how it is made – it will also need to be treated to be allowed through customs on the other side. The process though, is a lot more stressful for the pet owner – dogs and cats are tougher than we think – they will be fine if you choose the right pet transport company.
