Pet Transport Services from UK to Ireland
Moving your dog across cities or countries can be one of the most stressful parts of relocation. At Pets Let’s Travel, we understand that your dog isn’t just cargo—it’s family. Our private dog relocation service UK ensures every detail is handled with care, from pre-travel paperwork to post-arrival comfort. We take on the logistics so you can focus on settling into your new home, confident that your pet’s journey is managed with precision and care.
Our Services
Relocating pets safely requires more than transport—it demands planning, compliance knowledge, and constant supervision. We design each stage of the journey to maintain your dog’s comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. Our team handles everything, from microchip verification to custom travel kennels, ensuring a smooth and worry-free process for you and your pet.
Pre-Travel Veterinary Coordination
A successful relocation begins with preparation. We coordinate directly with your vet to confirm that vaccinations, health certificates, and parasite treatments meet UK and international requirements. Our team keeps track of every document, so you won’t have to deal with confusing paperwork or unexpected regulations.
We also help schedule vet appointments that align with airline or border requirements, ensuring your dog’s health and documentation are valid through the entire journey. Whether it’s a short move within the UK or an overseas transfer, our meticulous planning ensures compliance from start to finish.
Custom Travel Crates and Comfort Planning
Every dog has unique needs when it comes to travel. Our private dog relocation service UK includes a custom-fitted travel crate designed according to International Air Transport Association (IATA) guidelines. The right crate makes a major difference in your dog’s comfort and safety during long flights or drives.
We assess your dog’s size, breed, and temperament to recommend the most suitable configuration. From crate bedding and ventilation to hydration options, each detail is selected to maintain comfort and reduce anxiety during transit.
Collection and Drop-Off Logistics
Transporting pets across long distances requires dependable logistics. Our collection and drop-off service ensures your dog is safely picked up from your home, vet, or boarding facility, and delivered directly to the departure point.
For arrivals, we arrange for a team member or trusted partner to collect your dog at the destination airport and complete the post-arrival handover to you or your chosen representative. Whether it’s Heathrow, Manchester, or Glasgow—or international destinations like New York or Sydney—we manage every step efficiently and securely.
Airport Handling and Pet Check-In
Airports can be overwhelming for animals. Our handlers are trained to manage check-in procedures calmly and efficiently, reducing waiting time and stress. We coordinate with airlines and airport authorities to ensure your dog’s paperwork, crate, and travel route meet all requirements before departure.
This service includes direct supervision until boarding, temperature control monitoring during loading, and continuous updates to keep you informed at each stage. You’ll know when your dog has boarded, departed, and landed—so you never feel out of the loop.
Customs and Import/Export Clearance
International pet travel involves complex customs procedures, especially when entering or leaving the UK. Our customs team handles all import and export formalities, ensuring that quarantine regulations, permits, and clearances are completed accurately.
We prepare documentation and liaise with customs officers on your behalf. This avoids unnecessary delays or detentions that can occur from minor errors in paperwork. With our private dog relocation service UK, every regulatory detail is checked twice, so your dog’s travel is free from disruption.
In-Transit Monitoring and Welfare Checks
Your dog’s safety doesn’t stop once the journey begins. We maintain contact with all handlers and transport partners involved in the relocation process. Welfare checks are performed at key points, ensuring that feeding schedules, hydration, and rest periods are properly maintained.
We also accommodate specific requests for senior dogs, puppies, or pets with medical needs. We aim to maintain comfort and consistency throughout the trip, so your dog experiences minimal disruption.
International Coordination and Quarantine Management
If your destination requires quarantine or holding periods, we handle all arrangements to ensure a smooth entry process. Our team works with approved facilities across Europe, North America, and Asia that meet high standards of safety and care.
We ensure the accommodation meets your expectations, from climate control to dietary preferences. When quarantine isn’t required, we facilitate direct release services where possible, ensuring an immediate reunion at your destination.
Post-Arrival Care and Settling Assistance
Relocation doesn’t end when the plane lands. Our service extends to helping your dog adjust after travel. We can arrange temporary boarding, veterinary rechecks, and ground transportation to your new home.
We provide advice on local pet registration requirements, microchip updates, and licensing to make your transition as easy as possible. Whether your move is within the UK or to another continent, we’re there until your pet is safe, comfortable, and home again.
