on the road with Animalcouriers

During January our couriers were out and about, collecting dogs and cats travelling in Europe and two cats flown in from Vietnam.

Macy and Mojo, 2 dogs from England to Germany

We collected adorable Pugs Macy and Mojo from owner Kiren in Wigan for their journey to Tettnang om Germany. Tettnang is where Tettnang hops are grown for use in beermaking all over the world.

Sooty and Prisca, 2 cats from France to England

Gorgeous feline duo Sooty and Prisca belong to Anne and Peter, who are relocating from the Somme region to the UK. We went on ahead via Eurotunnel with the cats, while Anne and Peter made their way by ferry to Dover.

We delivered Sooty and Prisca to Ranpura Farm Cattery in Kent, where they waited for Anne and Peter to arrive.

We collected charming dog Xabi in Sicily and drove him to his new home in Oxford.

Lovely Louie is a Chug — a Chihuahua / Pug cross. We collected him in Malta for his journey to the Manchester area, where Reece was delighted to receive him.

A very happy reunion in Manchester

Maia, a dog from France to Ireland

Beautiful Labradoodle Maia joined us in Fréjus in France for her journey to County Galway in the Republic of Ireland, where owner Helen was waiting for her.

Maia was a very calm and collected passenger — here she is in our hotel room at Holyhead, before catching the ferry to Ireland

Nhat and Earl Grey, 2 cats from Vietnam to England via France

Sharon flew in to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport from Ho Chi Minh City with her beloved cats, Nhat and Earl Grey. We scooped everyone up at the airport and drove them to Reading via Eurotunnel.
