Our Services
Our Birmingham-based pet courier team ensures your pet’s journey meets all legal and welfare standards required by UK and international authorities. Here’s how we do it:
Pre-Travel Documentation & Compliance Management
Every successful journey starts with correct paperwork. Our team prepares and verifies every document your pet needs for local or international travel.
We ensure all DEFRA and IATA requirements are met before departure. This includes pet passports, export health certificates, microchip documentation, and import permits. By checking every detail early, we prevent unnecessary delays or refusals at checkpoints.
- Preparation of export health certificates and import permits
- DEFRA and IATA regulation verification
- Document submission to relevant authorities before travel
Our experience with airline, airport, and government requirements means your pet’s documentation is handled correctly from the start.
Veterinary Coordination & Health Certification
Every animal needs medical clearance before travel. We coordinate directly with certified veterinarians to arrange all required examinations, vaccinations, and health certificates.
This service includes managing vaccination schedules, ensuring the correct timing of rabies shots, and confirming your pet’s microchip matches official paperwork.

We also assist with parasite treatments and any destination-specific medical requirements.
Customs & Border Clearance Handling
Crossing borders with animals involves multiple authorities. Our team takes care of customs declarations, import inspections, and border compliance to prevent delays during travel.
We liaise with quarantine offices and animal reception centres to ensure your pet’s entry or exit process runs smoothly. From import permits to clearance paperwork, everything is arranged before your pet arrives.
