THE PROCESS
How Do We Offer Dog or Cat Transport from the UK to Ireland by Road?
āFrom your initial enquiry to your pet's safe arrival, we manage every stage of the journey with careful planning and clear communication.
Get Your Quote
At the start, you must tell us where your pet will be collected in the UK, the delivery address in Ireland, your preferred travel date, and a few details about your pet. We'll prepare a personalised quotation based on your journey and availability.
Documentation Guidance
Before departure, we'll explain exactly which travel documents your pet requires, including the animal health certificate (AHC) and any other mandatory paperwork. If you need guidance, our experienced team is happy to answer any questions before travel.
Collection Day
On the agreed date, one of our CRB-checked drivers arrives to collect your pet from the chosen address. As part of our door-to-door pet transport service, we conduct final travel checks and ensure your dog or cat is settled comfortably before we leave.
Journey Updates
While your pet is travelling to Ireland, you'll receive regular progress updates, including GPS tracking and photos via WhatsApp (generally every 4 hours). Our Mercedes vans are equipped with CCTV, giving you added peace of mind from departure to arrival.

As a licensed pet transporter from the UK to Ireland, we deliver your pet directly to the agreed destination. We complete the handover with care, ensuring your dog or cat is safely settled before the journey ends. This is why we are trusted by many pet owners.
