When the Walker family were relocating from the UK to Norway, they asked to us transport their beloved pets, Floki and Dusty. So we headed to West Sussex to collect handsome Labrador/German Shepherd Floki and gorgeous grey cat Dusty.
Leaving the UK
We met the pets at the family home, then drove to Portsmouth to catch the ferry.
Completing the final paperwork at home
A proper family send-off for Floki and Dusty
Floki was so good at the vet, taking his worming tablet — a requirement for his animal health certificate (AHC)
Floki settled in to his bedroom in our van
Friendly Dusty steps forward confidently for a chin tickle
On the road
Having disembarked in France, we headed north, travelling through Germany and Denmark.

He has a very patient demeanour
We found a beautiful park in Denmark for a walk

Arrival in Norway
From Denmark it was a short hop to Norway for an ecstatic reunion with the family in Stavanger. Greg wrote to say:
“Animalcouriers relocated our dog and cat from the UK to Norway. Overall, a very good experience. They handled the animal health certificates and we got regular updates from courier Gwen during her drive up. Good service — recommended.”
Floki so excited to be back with Greg

Heading off through Sweden
Having said goodbye to Floki, Dusty and their family, courier Gwen set off through Sweden, where she had time for a spot of sightseeing before meeting up with her next passenger.
Cool vibes in Stockholm
A quick visit to a gallery
Some thought-provoking works on show

What beautiful animals to travel with and amazing photos of “things along the trip” – love the artwork and particularly love that in Stockholm and the fabulous shot of the Norwegian fjord. Another great reunion at the end!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
Courier Gwen loves her Scandinavian trips – combine that with the gorgeous travelling companions and she’s a happy traveller too!
Dusty looks like Silver. Floki is beautiful. Wonderful photos of the fjord
Gorgeous passengers. Could just dive into that water…
Fabulous report, as always. The dog and cat looked incredibly calm, happy with their adventure.
But the highlight for me this time was the art! The picture of the woman at the table took my breath away!! Great post.
We rather liked the art too!
What an adventure and your customer was very happy with your service. Floki and Dusty are very cute and they seemed to have had a good time despite the long travel. As usual your photos are great and interesting. I love the fjord photo.
They were relaxed travellers and seemed to settle really quickly.
My BFF had a Floki look-a-like named Maggie What a handsome boy! Dusty reminded me of Hermans, Bowie Reunions are the best aren’t they?!
Floki is rather a good name. Yes, Dusty has similarities but is a little more well padded than Bowie was
