on the road with Animalcouriers

Courier Gwen travelled to Austria with dogs Otis and Lily from Kent, and returned via Germany with a cat called Smokey. Before that, she fitted in a quick trip to North Yorkshire.

Fiona, a dog from the UK to Greece

Courier Gwen travelled to North Yorkshire to collect Deborah’s lovely dog Fiona for her onward journey to Messinia in Greece with another Animalcouriers colleague. Deborah went on ahead to make sure she was ready to roll out the red carpet for Fiona on her arrival.

Otis and Lily, 2 dogs from Kent to Austria

In Kent, courier Gwen met up with Samual to collect his gorgeous dogs Otis, a Springador (Springer Spaniel/Labrador cross), and Lily, a Springer Spaniel. Their destination was Bernhardsthal in Austria.

It was easy to see Samual adores his dogs

Such a well behaved pair!

A happy reunion in sunny Austria

Smokey, a cat from Germany to the UK

Heading back to the UK from Austria, courier Gwen called in at the delightful Mühlbichler cattery in Munich to pick up Smokey. This stunning grey cat was heading to Hampshire for a reunion with his family.

Smokey travelled brilliantly

Sheep sculpture spotted at the Champagne-Ardenne railway station on the way through north-eastern France. Made from recycled materials, the sculpture is designed to showcase eco-pasture — the practice of maintaining green spaces using sheep or other grazing animals instead of machinery or chemicals. The sheep used at Champagne-Ardenne belong to a local farmer, who then sells her sheep milk products at the station.
