Why Choose Tees Valley Pet Transport?

  • Arrivals from Outside the EU:

    For travellers arriving at Paris, Brussels, or Amsterdam airports from non-EU countries, bringing pets into the UK can be a complex process. Pets must enter as 'manifest cargo,' which incurs additional costs and may separate them from their owners. We step in to collect your pets and bring them into the UK via the Eurotunnel, ensuring a smooth transition.

  • Transiting via European Airports:

    Sometimes, connecting flights to the UK may be too small to accommodate larger or multiple pets. Tees Valley Pet Transport can collect your pets at a range of European Airports including: Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Liege & others on request to all UK destinations. Offering a road journey via Eurotunnel to the UK.

  • Airport & Port Collections

    We offer Airport & Sea Port pick ups across The UK and Europe. Our most popular destinations are Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Frankfurt & Liege from across the UK. As soon as we pick your pet up we can then travel via road or train to and from the UK. Each trip is quoted as per client requests and overnight stays added on if necessary. A paperwork check is completed before any pickups when the trip details are confirmed.

  • Special Handling Needs:

    Travelling with an emotional support animal or a pet with specific handling requirements? Tees Valley Pet Transport is equipped to cater to these unique needs, ensuring both the comfort and well-being of your pets.

Understanding UK Pet Import Regulations

To ensure a smooth pet import process into the UK, it's essential to comply with the following regulations:

  • Mandatory Microchips: All pets entering the UK must be microchipped before or at the same time as their rabies vaccination.
  • Mandatory Rabies Vaccine: Pets must be up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations. The timing of the vaccination varies depending on the country of origin.
  • Booster Vaccinations: Dogs and cats must get regular booster vaccinations are necessary, and their timing can be found in your pet passport or health certificate.

Note: Missing a booster vaccination, even by one day, may require your pet to be revaccinated and blood-tested, leading to a 3-month waiting period before travelling.


Ensuring Your Dog's Tapeworm-Free Entry into the UK

If you plan to bring your dog into the United Kingdom from any country other than Finland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Malta, or Norway, it is essential to adhere to tapeworm treatment requirements. To meet these requirements, your dog's treatment must:

  • Be authorized for use in the respective country.
  • Contain praziquantel or an equally effective ingredient against the Echinococcus multilocularis tapeworm.
  • Be administered within a timeframe of at least 24 hours but no more than 120 hours (5 days) before your pet's arrival in Great Britain.
