How do you move 19 pets from France to England in a hurry?

Courier Huw is just back from helping Emma and Chris move 19 pets from France to England in a hurry. In fact, the couple have 24 pets altogether. The whole family of humans, cats and dogs was relocating from the Montluçon area in central France to Nottingham. Emma admits she is 'full on' with all her pets, and it was out of the question to leave any of them behind.

The journey started at midnight on day one, as Courier Huw and Pedro, an osprey expert from Spain, loaded up the [...]

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.
