Professional Pet Transport Solutions by Europtaxi
Moving a pet, whether across town or across borders, can be stressful without the right support. At Europtaxi, we offer expert pet transport solutions that cover everything from legal paperwork to safe, comfortable travel. Our service is built for families, individuals, and pet owners who want their animals moved with care, compliance, and consistency.
Whether you’re planning a one-time international move or need regular support for your pet’s transport, we tailor our solutions to suit your needs and your pet’s wellbeing.
What Makes a Pet Transport Solution Reliable?
Not all pet transport options provide the same level of service. A complete solution should include more than just moving your animal from point A to point B. It must support the journey from start to finish.
A professional provider like Europtaxi offers:
- Legal support – We manage documentation, travel certificates, and border requirements.
- Pet-friendly vehicles – Our vans are equipped with secure crates, ventilation, and climate control.
- Experienced handlers – Pets travel with trained professionals who monitor them throughout.
- Door-to-door service – We collect your pet and deliver them safely without third-party handovers.
If you’re based in the South East, our Kent pet taxi service offers fast collection and efficient UK delivery.
What You Need for UK Pet Travel
Transporting a pet into the UK involves strict requirements. At Europtaxi, we guide you through each step to ensure full compliance:
- All pets must be microchipped before vaccinations.
- They need a rabies vaccination at least 21 days before entry.
- You must obtain an Animal Health Certificate within 10 days of travel.
- Dogs require tapeworm treatment 24 to 120 hours before arrival in the UK.
By partnering with a specialist, you avoid delays, missed documentation, or entry problems.
How Europtaxi Moves Pets Safely
We transport pets across Europe and into the UK using the most efficient, comfortable, and safe routes. Your pet travels with us the entire way — no third-party handovers or long layovers.
Eurotunnel Le Shuttle
For most trips, we use the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle, which allows your pet to remain in the vehicle for the duration of the short Channel crossing.
Why we use it:
- 35-minute travel time from Calais to Folkestone.
- Quiet, climate-controlled space helps pets stay calm.
- Direct access to the UK without ferry disruptions.
Ferry Options
When appropriate, we may use ferry services based on your location and route.
Benefits:
- Practical for pets travelling from southern or eastern Europe.
- Some ferries offer pet cabins or designated spaces.
Every journey is carefully planned to minimise stress and maximise comfort.
Preparing Your Pet for Transport
Proper preparation makes a big difference in how your pet experiences travel. Here’s how to help them get ready:
- Schedule a vet appointment – Confirm health status and arrange vaccinations and documentation.
- Introduce the crate early – Let your pet get used to the crate before travel day.
- Pack essentials – Include food, water, medication, and a comfort item such as a toy or blanket.
- Inform your provider – Share your pet’s feeding routine, medical needs, or behavioural traits.
If you need support for specific animals, we also offer tailored dog transport and cat relocation services.
