A dedicated trip for returning pet passenger Daisy

Animalcouriers made a dedicated trip for returning pet passenger Daisy. This darling girl is a Bulldog/Staffie cross and the apple of owner Mary's eye. She's also a super well travelled pup. We first met her last year when she and Mary relocated from Australia to Croatia, which involved a flight for Daisy into the UK, followed by a road trip through continental Europe. More recently, Mary moved to Lisbon in Portugal, and asked us once again to take care of Daisy's travel. Courier Shane drove to Budapest in Hungary to collect Daisy for her dedicated trip on a route [...]

Collecting Caramel at Claridge’s

We collected gorgeous little Caramel at Claridge's Hotel in London for her journey to Paris. Caramel is a regular client of ours, as she and owner Louise split their time between London and Paris.

They made the journey by Eurotunnel and reached Louise in Paris later the same day.

Pet transport to Norway and back via Germany

Animalcouriers recently made a trip for pet transport to Norway, coming back via Germany. Ferries are a feature of this trip — courier Gwen caught seven of them, starting with a crossing of the Channel. Rory, a dog from Stockton on Tees to Norway We collected darling Cavapoo Rory from Sue in Stockton on Tees. Rory belongs to Sue's son Nathan, and was travelling with us to join Nathan in Haugesund, a port town north of Stavanger.

11 Pointer pups from Pesaro

Animalcouriers travelled to Italy to collect 11 Pointer pups from Pesaro, all heading to families in the UK. The puppies were bred by Luigi and Gigi, who love the German Shorthaired Pointer breed and are devoted to their dogs. All that love and devotion shine through — the mother of these puppies was a Crufts winner in her category last year, and all the pups were absolutely delightful. As are Luigi and Gigi themselves, who were super welcoming towards our couriers, Shane and Ryan. Shane told us: "Luigi and his family were outstanding. The place itself was 5 star and [...]

From Malta to the Netherlands by road and sea

Indi, a lovely German Shepherd Dog cross, belongs to Amy, who's relocated from Malta to the Netherlands. Amy's been working as an IT specialist on Malta for a couple of years. During that time, she adopted Indi from a local shelter. At the time, poor Indi had a terrible ear infection. Although it cleared up under Amy's tender care, Indi has been left with sensitive ears. So much so that when Amy was planning her relocation to Amsterdam, the vet advised against Indi flying. So Animalcouriers stepped in to transport the dog by road and ferry from Malta to the [...]

Pets travelling from Northern Ireland, Belgium, Italy and France

It's time to catch up with our couriers who've been out and about on a number of short trips, collecting pets travelling from Northern Ireland, Belgium, Italy and France. Cato and Brutus from Northern Ireland Slinky black cats Cato and Brutus started out as a pair of feral kittens, who turned up on a French doorstep and were taken in by their kindly owner. They subsequently moved with their owner to Bangor, Northern Ireland, which is where we met them. Their owner is moving to a nursing home, so her goddaughter, Saffron, stepped in to give Cato and Brutus a [...]

16 Maine Coon cats and their canine chum are relocating to Crete

Emma and Warren along with their 16 Maine Coon cats and their canine chum are relocating to Crete from Hampshire. Couriers Martin and Marc went to collect the whole gang bright and early, stopping off on the way for final health checks for the TRACES certificate at Kynoch Vets in Yateley, Hampshire. This trip took us overland to Greece via Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. Usually we take the ferry to Greece from Italy. This time, however, we couldn't get a ferry trip on that route with a shaded open deck. We felt that for these very furry cats, some [...]

To Portugal with Holly and Hogan
