Meet Dexter and Lucy who are on their way to London

Brother and sister Border Collies Dexter and Lucy are taking travel in their stride. Just seven months old, they're very confident passengers and seem to be enjoying their adventure. Animalcouriers collected them from their beautiful country villa near Avignon in the south of France, and are transporting them to their London address. These two darlings are set to become 'frequent flyers' as they split their time between their two homes, enjoying a very different lifestyle in each. Lovely Lucy not too approving of the increasing wind and rain as we travel northwards Dear Dexter's not [...]

From reunions in Stoupa to Athens, to meet Pouca the cat

When Animalcouriers reached Greece by ferry from Italy, our first stop was Stoupa, to reunite cats Mr Pickles and Douglas, and dogs Murphy and Twiglet with Sharon. Overnight accommodation in the area is a bit sparse at this time of year but we were lucky enough to end up in a rather nice little cottage. With the weather howling and storming outside, we took advantage of the open fire which had been laid ready for us. Along with the firewood was a plastic bag full of amazingly effective firelighters — pieces of cardboard soaked in olive oil. Sacrilege! we hear [...]

Meet our passengers from the UK: Odin, Bibi, Murphy, Twiglet, Mr Pickles, Douglas, Jim, Hugo, Ruben, Red, Fleur and Mittens

Animalcouriers set off from the UK with a fine group of feline and canine passengers on board. Odin and Bibi are travelling with us to Switzerland, to join Alan and his family. Although they'll primarily be the family's pets, they've also been trained by Len from K9 Protector to protect and look after all the family members. Len says he's really enjoyed training these two — we must say, they are a very soft and friendly pair of dogs. Family of four Mr Pickles, Douglas, Murphy and Twiglet are relocating with Sharon to Greece. Their journey started in Devon, and their new [...]

Portuguese reunions for Faith, Borat, Ruas and Yuna; and Fluffy, Alfie and Mia Bluebell join our trip

The first stop for Animalcouriers on reaching Portugal was to collect Fluffy the cat, who's leaving Porto to join her owner Bruna in London. Fluffy has been in the tender care of her owner's mama since Bruna left. Having already said goodbye to her youngest child and only daughter, mama was naturally very sad to be saying goodbye to Fluffy, too. Then it was on to Aveiro to meet Sara at the Policlinica Veterinaria da Aveiro. Sara's been looking after Alfie, who came to the clinic as a stray puppy. Luisa in England has been following his progress and decided [...]
