Professional Europe to Folkestone Pet Taxi
Travelling with your pet from mainland Europe to the UK requires careful planning and full compliance with entry rules. A professional Europe to Folkestone pet taxi service takes the stress out of the journey, ensuring your dog or cat travels safely, comfortably, and legally. At Europtaxi, we specialise in pet transport across borders, offering direct, door-to-door service into Folkestone and beyond.
What Pets Need to Enter the UK
The UK has strict requirements for pets arriving from the EU. Our team checks all documentation before travel to avoid delays or entry refusals.
Your pet will need:
- Microchipping – inserted before any vaccinations
- Rabies vaccination – administered at least 21 days before travel
- Animal Health Certificate – issued by an official vet within 10 days of travel
- Tapeworm treatment – mandatory for dogs, given 24 to 120 hours before entering the UK
We review these requirements with every client to ensure full compliance.
Why Choose a Pet Taxi to Folkestone?
Pet taxis offer a safer, more comfortable alternative to airline cargo or public transport. This is especially useful for long-distance journeys and border crossings.
Key benefits include:
- Direct collection and delivery – From your European address straight to Folkestone
- Calm, pet-friendly vehicles – All vehicles are climate-controlled and fitted with secure crates
- Trained animal handlers – We monitor your pet’s comfort and wellbeing throughout the journey
- No layovers or public areas – Less exposure to noise, stress, and temperature changes
For onward travel, our Kent Pet Taxi service ensures your pet reaches any destination in the South East with ease.
Using the Eurotunnel for Entry to the UK
We use the LeShuttle Pet Travel service via the Eurotunnel for all Europe-to-Folkestone journeys.
Why we choose this route:

- Help your pet get used to the travel crate or harness
