Our Services
Below are the 8 core pet travel consultancy services we provide to London pet owners:
London Pet Travel Rules Consultation
You may feel stressed about airline rules, breed rules, age rules and seasonal rules. Our London pet travel consultation sets everything into order. We explain UK export rules, airport check-in procedure, crate requirements, microchip standards and vaccination timing in plain language you can follow.
- You learn exactly what to do for your destination country.
- You avoid delays due to missing signatures or mismatched vaccine dates.
Our guidance cuts risk of last-minute rejection by giving you a step-by-step plan based on airline policy and international transport standards. Many clients avoid up to 40 percent of common errors by following our instructions.
Airline and Route Planning For Pet Travel From London
Airlines often change pet policies. Some allow cabin travel. Some limit hold space during warm months. Others require specific crate models. You should not guess. Our team checks routes, aircraft types, climate control capacity, layover rules, and airport animal station access.
- You get a route plan that suits your pet’s size, breed and health needs.
- You avoid flights with risky layovers, heat restrictions or long waits.
A direct route with the right airline can reduce travel time by up to 60 percent and lower stress for your pet. That is a clear gain for you.
UK Export Health Certificate Guidance
The Export Health Certificate (EHC) is one of the main reasons pets are refused boarding. Wrong forms or wrong vet signatures can block everything. We walk you through vet appointment timing, microchip verification, approved vaccine brands, and entry requirements for EU and non-EU destinations.
- You learn how to prepare your pet’s documents in the correct order.
- You avoid repeat vet visits due to missing fields or wrong dates.
We guide you through the DEFRA-approved process so each detail lines up. Clients who follow our process reduce documentation delays by about 50 percent. Clear instructions make a big difference.
Crate Sizing and IATA Container Compliance
Carriers follow IATA live animal regulations. If your crate is too small, too big, too weak or not airline-approved, your pet may be refused at the airport. We measure your pet’s size and match it to the right crate category. We also explain bedding, water bowls, ventilation and fasteners.
- You get the right container size for your pet’s weight and body length.
- You avoid stop-at-check-in issues caused by non-standard crates.
Our measurements follow IATA guidelines used in cargo and passenger services. Correct crate sizing reduces injury risk and lowers rejection risk at London airports.
International Pet Import Rules Review
Every country has its own rules for pet entry. Some require quarantine. Some require blood tests. Others require advance permits. You cannot rely on old online posts because rules change. Our team checks the latest import standards for your destination.
- You receive details on waiting periods, test requirements, and quarantine options.
- You avoid landing in a country where your pet is held for long periods due to missing steps.
We review airline and border rules daily. Many clients avoid unexpected quarantine fees by following the exact steps we outline. With clear instructions, you keep control of your travel plan.
Pre-Flight Preparation and Stress Reduction Planning
Pets need calm travel conditions. We guide you on feeding times, hydration, carrier training, exercise schedule and airport arrival timing. We also explain what to avoid, such as sedatives that airlines may reject due to health risk.
- You learn how to prepare your pet the day before and the day of travel.
- You create a routine that lowers stress and supports smooth check-ins.
We use behaviour guidelines and travel preparation steps that improve travel outcomes. Pets with proper pre-flight routines tend to settle 30 percent faster during transport.

London Airport Coordination Support
Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted each follow strict pet procedures. You might deal with the Animal Reception Centre, cargo offices, airline check-in desks and security rules. We explain each step so you know where to go and what to expect.
- You get clear instructions on airport arrival time and document presentation.
- You avoid long delays at the wrong terminal or wrong office.
This lowers the chance of missing a check-in window, which is one of the top causes of failed pet flights.
