How Our Pet Shipping Process Works

Our process is simple, but detailed—because details prevent problems.

We guide you on:

• health check timing

Step 3 – Travel Crate Selection & Comfort Setup

We recommend IATA-approved crate sizing, plus comfort setup (bedding, water bowl type, absorbent lining).

We arrange pickup and move your pet safely to the airport/terminal or road route start point.

Where tracking/updates are allowed, we keep you informed until arrival and delivery completion.

Pet Travel Documentation Support (Domestic & International)

Wrong paperwork is the biggest reason pets get delayed. We help you stay compliant.

Domestic UK transport usually needs fewer documents, but we still recommend:

• Owner ID proof (for verification)
• Vaccination record (especially for long routes)

• Health certificate issued by an authorised vet
• Import permit / airline forms (destination dependent)
• Additional tests (some countries require blood titers or waiting periods)

Health Certificate, Vaccinations, Microchip, and Destination Rules

We help align your timeline so you don’t vaccinate too early/late or miss waiting periods.

Tips to Avoid Delays at Airport / Cargo Terminal

• Keep printed copies in a folder + digital backups
• Match pet name spelling across all documents
• Confirm crate label requirements (Live Animal / arrows / contact info)
• Arrive earlier than normal—cargo counters can be slow

IATA Travel Crates & Safe Handling Standards

Crate quality and correct size matter a lot. It affects safety, airline acceptance, and pet comfort.

IATA-Approved Crate Sizing for Dogs & Cats

General sizing rule: pet must stand without touching the roof, turn around, and lie down naturally.

(Exact sizing depends on measurements and airline requirements.)

Crate Training Tips to Reduce Pet Stress

• Let your pet explore the crate at home for a few days
• Feed treats inside the crate (build positive association)
• Short “door closed” practice sessions help a lot
• Don’t force it aggressively—slow is better

Food, Hydration, Bedding & Comfort Checklist

Comfort checklist for travel day:

• Light meal timing (avoid heavy feeding right before travel)
• Water plan (hydration without overfilling)
• Familiar-smelling bedding (not too thick)
• Absorbent layer inside crate
• Vet-approved calming guidance (if needed)
