Our 3 Ways of Moving Pets from Ireland to the UK by Road
Every move is unique, and your pet deserves a travel experience that's planned around them, not the other way around. That's why our pet relocation from Ireland to the UK by road is planned around your pet, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and hassle-free journey every step of the way.
Pet-Only Road Transport
Our pet-only road transport service is suitable for dogs and cats travelling without their owners. We collect your pet from your home in Ireland and transport them directly to their destination in the UK. During the journey, they travel in a climate-controlled vehicle with comfortable bedding and fresh water. We also ensure rest stops for pets and provide food whenever needed.
Pet & Owner Transport
If you would like to travel with your pet, our pet & owner transport service from Ireland to the UK allows you to make the journey together. We organise the route, help with border procedures, and ensure all pet travel requirements are in place before departure. This allows you and your pet to travel from Ireland to the UK without worrying about the transport arrangements.
Multi-Pet Family Transport
If you're relocating with more than one pet, we can arrange transport for your entire pet family. Whether you're travelling with two dogs, several cats, or a combination of pets, each animal is transported safely and receives individual care throughout the journey. This is why many families choose to trust our pet relocation from Ireland to the UK by road when moving.
THE PROCESS
How Do We Offer Dog or Cat Transport From Ireland to the UK by Road?
From your first enquiry until your pet reaches its destination, we take care of each stage of the journey. Here's what you can expect when choosing our licensed pet transport from Ireland to the UK.
Get Your Quote
To begin, tell us where your pet will be collected in Ireland, where they're travelling in the UK, and your preferred travel date. Once we have these details, we'll prepare a personalised quote with clear pricing. This gives you an idea about what is included before you book our pet taxi services from Ireland to the UK.
Documentation Guidance
Before your pet travels to any part of the UK, we will explain the paperwork and entry requirements that apply to the journey. If you're unsure about any required document, our experienced team will guide you through the complete process and help make sure everything is ready before departure.
Collection Day
On the scheduled date, preferably according to you, our CRB-checked driver will collect your pet directly from the agreed location in Ireland. Once we've completed our final welfare and documentation checks, we'll begin the journey to the UK, ensuring your dog or cat is well cared for from the very first mile.
Journey Updates
Throughout your pet's journey from Ireland to the UK, you'll never be left wondering how they're doing. We provide live GPS tracking, WhatsApp photo updates, and regular progress reports every four hours. Our Mercedes vehicles are equipped with CCTV, giving you added reassurance while your pet is travelling.
Safe Delivery in the UK
When we arrive in the UK from Ireland, we will deliver your pet directly to the agreed address. We'll make sure they're settled and comfortably reunited with you before we leave. This makes our door-to-door pet transport from Ireland to the UK complete and gives you the confidence that you can refer us to others.

PRICING
What Determines Your Ireland to the UK Quote?
The cost of pet transport from Ireland to the UK by road depends on the details of your journey. As every relocation is different, we calculate each quote individually for pet transport from Ireland to the UK by road.
Pet Size & Number
The number of pets travelling and their size are important when preparing your quote. A single cat requires different travel arrangements than several large dogs. We consider the space and care needed for every journey before calculating the price for our pet courier service.
Collection Location in Ireland
Where your pet is collected in Ireland also plays a role in the overall cost of transportation. We collect pets like dogs or cats throughout Ireland, including Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, and many smaller towns. This collection is arranged directly from your chosen address.
UK Delivery Address
Your destination is another factor that affects the cost of pet transport from Ireland to the UK by road. Our pet courier service delivers to homes across England, Scotland, and Wales, so the final delivery distance from Ireland is included when calculating your transport cost.
Service Type Chosen
The type of transport you choose will influence the overall price. Whether you require private travel, shared transport, or pet and owner transport from Ireland to the UK, we'll provide a personalised quote based on the service that best matches your requirements.
Planned Travel Date
Your preferred travel date can affect both availability and the overall quote. During busy periods, such as school holidays and peak relocation seasons, transport slots are booked more quickly. Booking in advance gives you a better chance of securing your preferred travel date.
Additional Services
If you require help beyond transportation, such as document guidance or other travel-related assistance, these can be included in your quotation. As a DEFRA approved transporter, we provide a clear breakdown of all included costs before your pet's journey begins.
