100% Safe Pet Transport, Relocation Service & Pet Taxi in Birmingham

Yes, we are fully licensed & insured to transport pets across Birmingham and beyond. We hold a DEFRA Type 2 authorisation, the highest level of certification issued by the UK government for pet transportation. This licence allows us to undertake road journeys lasting over 12 hours, ensuring safe and compliant long-distance travel for your pets—something not all transporters can provide. Additionally, we carry comprehensive insurance specifically for pet transportation, covering any unforeseen incidents during transit. For your peace of mind, we are happy to present our licence and insurance details when you make a booking.

Yes, you can transport your dog from Birmingham to Germany, but strict regulations must be followed. First, your pet must be microchipped with an ISO-compliant chip for identification. Second, a valid rabies vaccination is mandatory—the initial dose must be given at least 21 days before travel, and booster shots must be up to date. Additional requirements may include a pet passport or an animal health certificate, depending on post-Brexit rules. We recommend checking the latest DEFRA or EU guidelines before travel, as regulations can change. Our team can assist with documentation and ensure a smooth journey for your pet.

The validity of your pet’s travel documents depends on the destination. An Animal Health Certificate (AHC)—now commonly used post-Brexit—is valid for 10 days from issuance when entering the EU or Northern Ireland. Once inside the EU, it allows 4 months of onward travel between member countries. If returning to Great Britain, the certificate remains valid for 4 months from the date of entry into the EU. A traditional UK pet passport (issued before Brexit) may still be accepted in some cases, but an AHC is typically required for new trips. Always verify the latest rules before travelling, as policies may vary.

While crates are the safest option for most pets, we understand that some cats may prefer staying with their owners. Well-behaved, calm cats may travel outside a crate if they are securely harnessed and attached to a seatbelt to prevent movement. However, this depends on the cat’s temperament—anxious or restless pets should remain in a ventilated, escape-proof carrier for their safety. We prioritise stress-free travel, so if your cat is more comfortable in a carrier, we recommend using one. Our drivers are trained to handle pets carefully, ensuring a smooth journey either way.

Microchipping is a legal requirement for pet travel to France and most EU countries. Your pet must have an ISO 11784-11785 compliant 15-digit microchip, which serves as a permanent form of identification. This chip must be implanted prior to the rabies vaccination, as it links the vaccine records to your pet’s unique ID. Without a microchip, your pet may be denied entry or face quarantine. Additionally, microchips help reunite lost pets with their owners, making them essential for international travel. We ensure all transported pets meet these regulations, providing a hassle-free experience for you and your furry companion.
