Professional Pet Taxi from Germany to London
Travelling with a pet across borders can feel overwhelming without the right help. A pet taxi from Germany to London offers a simple and secure way to move your dog or cat, whether for relocation, a long stay, or a family visit. At Europtaxi, we specialise in pet transport between Europe and the UK, managing everything from route planning to compliance with entry regulations.
Entry Requirements for Pets Travelling to the UK
Pets entering the UK from Germany must meet specific rules. Our team checks all documents in advance to ensure a smooth journey.
Your pet will need:
- Microchipping for identification
- A valid rabies vaccination, given at least 21 days before travel
- An Animal Health Certificate, issued within 10 days of arrival in the UK
- Tapeworm treatment for dogs, administered 24–120 hours before entry
We guide you through each step and confirm everything is in place before we collect your pet.
Why Choose a Pet Taxi from Germany?
A road-based pet taxi service offers several advantages over other forms of travel:
- Door-to-door collection and drop-off – No airports, waiting rooms, or transfers
- Purpose-built vehicles – All vans include secure crates, ventilation, and climate control
- Experienced handlers – Pets are cared for throughout the journey
- No cargo holds – Your pet stays safe, secure, and monitored at all times
If your final destination is in the South East, we also offer local drop-off through our Kent Pet Taxi service.
Using the Eurotunnel to Enter the UK
All Germany to London journeys with Europtaxi use the LeShuttle Pet Travel route via the Eurotunnel.
Why we use the tunnel:
- Fast 35-minute crossing
- Pets stay in the vehicle – no cargo holds or public terminals
- Consistent environment – minimises stress for your pet
After crossing into Folkestone, we continue the journey directly to your London address.
Preparing Your Pet for the Trip
Preparation helps your pet stay calm during long-distance travel. Here’s what we recommend:
- Visit your vet to issue the Animal Health Certificate
- Help your pet get used to the travel crate or harness
- Pack essentials: food, water, medication, and a comfort item
- Let us know about feeding routines, health needs, or behaviour details
We also offer tailored Dog Pet Taxi and Cat Pet Taxi services to meet each pet’s unique needs.
