Professional Pet Taxi Service France to UK Border
Crossing the border from France to the UK with pets comes with rules, paperwork, and logistics. Our pet taxi service from France to the UK border is designed to take the stress out of that journey. At Europtaxi, we help transport your dog or cat safely, legally, and comfortably between countries.
Requirements for Pets Entering the UK
To enter the UK from France, pets must meet the following legal requirements. We make sure everything is in order before collection and guide you if anything is missing.
Your pet must have:
- Microchipping for identification
- A valid rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before travel
- An Animal Health Certificate, issued within 10 days of travel
- Tapeworm treatment for dogs, administered by a vet 24–120 hours before entering the UK
We check all these details before collection to avoid delays at the border.
What Makes Pet Taxis Ideal for Cross-Border Travel?
Flying with pets can be complicated. With a ground-based solution like ours, the experience becomes much easier for you and safer for your pet. Here’s why pet taxis are ideal:
- Custom-built vehicles – Designed for comfort, with space, airflow, and secure crates
- No public transport stress – Avoids crowds, noise, and luggage handling

We regularly run routes via the Eurotunnel and ferry crossings depending on your location and preferences.
