Meeting more UK-bound pets as we travel through Italy

With all our Greek passengers safely on board, we caught the ferry across to Italy to start our journey back to the UK. During the crossing, we were able to park our van in a nice open spot with plenty of ventilation to keep everyone cool Stella Our first stop was at Sabrina's dog hotel in Brindisi to collect Patrizia's dog Stella, who's on her way to Wokingham. The hotel is a lovely place for dogs to stay, with shady compounds, and secure bedrooms. Everything is well designed to keep the dogs comfortable during hot summers (when it [...]

On the road from the UK to Greece and back

Since those dogs took to the air, couriers J and M haven't been idle. They've been travelling back to the UK with a van full of passengers relocating or moving back from Greece to the UK. But first things first. On their way out to Greece, couriers J [...]

To Switzerland via the Channel Islands and France, and home via Belgium

Pikachu in bed, with Phatcat lurking at the back Owners Natale and Ryan receiving their cats, courier M looking on Ryan over the moon to be reunited Natale equally delighted at their happy reunion. The whole family will shortly move to their [...]

France, Spain and Portugal, here we come!

Animalcouriers left the UK on the overnight ferry to Caen. It docks at a fairly unseemly hour of the morning, but gives us a whole day to travel down to southern France. On board with us were dogs and cats travelling to destinations in France, Spain and Portugal. Honey Gorgeous Labrador cross Honey, a French native, had a fairly short ride with us, travelling from Sara in Portsmouth to John near Montauban. Honey looking up as John called to her Honey hadn't seen John for a while, so it took a moment for her to recognise him. [...]
