So Why Use Europtaxi for Pet Travel Europe to UK

Moving your pet from Europe to the UK requires more than just a vehicle and a passport. With strict travel regulations, health requirements, and long distances to manage, the process can quickly become overwhelming. That’s why pet owners choose Europtaxi Pet Travel Europe to UK — a reliable, door-to-door service designed to handle every aspect of international pet transport.

Whether you’re relocating permanently, sending a pet to join family, or returning from an extended trip, Europtaxi provides safe, legal, and stress-free travel for dogs, cats, and small animals.

Why Pet Owners Trust Europtaxi for European Travel

When it comes to crossing borders with animals, planning ahead is essential. Europtaxi removes the complexity by managing the entire journey. Here’s why so many pet owners rely on us:

• Legal compliance from start to finish – We ensure every document meets UK import regulations.
• Pet-focused transport – Our vehicles include secure crates, ventilation, and temperature control.
• Experienced handlers – Your pet travels with trained professionals who understand their needs.
• Direct collection and delivery – No handovers or multiple stops — we handle everything in one continuous journey.

With our Kent Pet Taxi service, we offer seamless transitions from European pickup to final delivery in the UK.

What Are the Requirements for Entering the UK?

The UK has a strict pet travel policy. At Europtaxi, we help you meet these requirements to avoid delays or rejections at the border:

• Your pet must undergo microchipping before any vaccinations.
• They must receive a rabies vaccination at least 21 days before travel.
• You’ll need an Animal Health Certificate issued within 10 days of entry into the UK.
• Dogs must have a tapeworm treatment 24 to 120 hours before UK arrival.

Because timing matters, we manage every step alongside you and your vet.

Travel Routes from Europe to the UK

Your pet’s journey typically begins with road travel through Europe, followed by a crossing to the UK. Europtaxi plans the route based on your location and timeline.

Eurotunnel Le Shuttle

We often use the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle for its speed and pet-friendly setup.

Advantages:

• 35-minute tunnel crossing.
• Pets remain in our vehicle for comfort and continuity.
• No need for kennels or exposure to terminal noise.

Ferry Options

In some cases, we may use ferry routes based on starting location and timing.

Advantages:

• Suitable for longer routes or multi-pet travel.
• Some ferries offer pet-accessible cabins.

Considerations:

• Journey times are longer.
• Access to pets during the crossing can be limited.

No matter the route, your pet is never transferred to another provider. We remain with them from pickup to delivery.

Preparing Your Pet for the Journey

Getting your pet ready is just as important as the journey itself. Follow these steps to ensure a calm experience:

• Schedule a vet check-up – Make sure vaccinations are up to date and request the Animal Health Certificate.
• Familiarise your pet with the crate – Let them rest in the travel crate before the trip.
• Pack their essentials – Include food, water, medications, and familiar items like a toy or blanket.
• Share special instructions – Let us know about feeding times, medication schedules, or behavioural notes.

Whether you’re booking dog transport or cat-specific travel, we adjust our care to suit each animal.
