Two Animalcouriers vans set off from the UK, transporting much loved family pets to France, Spain and Portugal — including what we think may be a record number of Labradors on a single trip! Some of our passengers are relocating, while others are going on holiday with their families.
Kali, Apache and Leiah
This trio of gorgeous Labs are travelling from Gloucestershire to the Tarn, where they and their owners are spending a holiday. The dogs travelled with Animalcouriers earlier in the year for the first time. Their owners used to make the journey by car with their dogs but, now they’ve found us, they can simply hop on a plane and relax, knowing their beloved hounds aren’t far behind.
Lovely calm Leiah
Lookalikes Apache and Kali
Ready for our walk please!
Belle
Brazilian Bulldog Belle belongs to Maurico. She’s travelling with us from Milton Keynes to rejoin him in Madrid
Beautiful black-and-white Belle
Baldrick and Holly
Bonded pair Baldrick and Holly are making their way from Staffordshire to Torrevieja in Spain, where Heather and family have moved to live.

Minstral, Guiness, Blossom, Pickle and Powderpuff
Labrador duo Minstral and Guiness are travelling from the Launceston area to Estepona in Spain, where the family is relocating. Also on board are their feline chums, Ragdoll Blossom and tabby Pickle — and Powderpuff the rabbit.
Best buddies Minstral and Guiness
Super cool tabby Pickle
Soft and furry Blossom
The very floofy (and well named) Powderpuff
Dolly
Chesapeake Dolly belongs to Stephen and family. Everyone’s relocating from Kings Lynn to the Portuguese Algarve.
Darling Dolly
Cisco, Clay and Raffi
Labradors Cisco. Clay and Raffi belong to footballer Jeremy. The dogs are travelling with us from Richmond to join Jeremy at their holiday home in the Algarve, ready for fun and sun on the beach.

Handsome Cisco
Wonder what’s caught Raffi’s eye?

Prentice
This gorgeous black-and-white puss belongs to Lorraine. Together they’re relocating from London to Beziers in southern France.
Smart tuxedo cat Prentice
Double dog delights! Powderpuff is so cute. Spunk is jealous that Cisco and Rafi get to pose in front of a tower like that. Pickle is super cool and Blossom and Prentice don’t look like they have a lot of confidence in the whole courier thing.
You’re right, some of our passengers don’t get the courier thing but they wouldn’t be left behind so have to grin and bare it 😉
Love those expressions.
This group of passengers do have very expressive faces.
Everyone looks ready to travel! Love the WABBIT!
Hugs, Sammy
They’re all excited to get where they’re going. Isn’t the wabbit just the coolest thing!
Looking forward to seeing Belle. Hope she is having fun on this cross European excursion with her new buddies. We have all set for her arrival in Madrid (the food she likes and a nice walk in the Olavide Square).
Hi Mauricio — great to hear from you. Belle is doing really well and having lots of fun with her new buddies! She’ll be delighted with your food and that walk in Olivine Square but more especially to see you again!
oh wow that are a lot of passengers :o) and if you are short with the gas while crossing france you can bring them all to me… I would love to have a pawty wit all that cute friends :o)
And so many Labradors! Thank you for your kind offer to host us if we run out of fuel — what fun that would be 😀
Such beautiful passengers and what a fluffy rabbit! I don’t think I have ever seen one of that breed before!
I love that old tower. That must have an interesting story too.
Isn’t Powderpuff fantastic! First for us too. There are so many buildings along the way that it would be lovely to know about — google often comes up trump but we didn’t have a name for this.
The Powderpuff is so gorgeous and we do so love that name, Annie, that Granny calls me that too from now on..MOL 😀 All cute passengers again. Pawkisses for a safe trip around the world 🙂 <3
That name suits you wonderfully Little B!
What lovely K9s and felines and yes Baldrick looks quite dashingly dachshund 🙂
Baldrick most certainly looks mainly Daxie — gorgeous fellow!
What a cool looking bunny!
Powderpuff has serious style!
Looking at Powderpuff made me thing of dusting chores. Scattering a little rabbit food around the house just might do the job. 🙂 –Curt
Awww… what loves. I just had to check in (it’s been awhile). This summer has been absurdly busy. In a good sort of way, but I’m slipping on keeping up with everything… including blogging.
