At Pearl Lemon Pet Transport, we provide a complete UK to France dog transport service designed around safety, compliance, and comfort. Our approach focuses on solving common problems dog owners face when moving abroad, stress, paperwork, and logistics, and replacing them with clarity and care.
Before any journey begins, your dog’s wellbeing comes first. We start with a full pre-trip consultation to review your dog’s vaccination record, microchip details, and travel readiness. We coordinate with your vet to confirm that all required vaccinations, including rabies, are current and valid for cross-border travel. If your dog has special health considerations or anxiety during travel, we prepare a custom travel plan that includes rest stops, feeding routines, and comfort aids.
This initial planning step ensures your dog’s move from the UK to France happens without last-minute surprises. Owners receive a complete timeline of pre-travel tasks, giving you total clarity before departure.
Many pet owners underestimate how detailed the regulations for UK to France dog transport can be. A single missing signature or outdated vaccination record can cause delays or quarantine. We manage all required paperwork including your dog’s Animal Health Certificate, microchip verification, rabies documentation, tapeworm treatment record, and customs declarations.
We also liaise directly with accredited veterinarians and border authorities, ensuring every document is correctly completed and submitted on time. This attention to compliance ensures your dog can cross the border smoothly and safely.
Comfort is crucial for dogs on long journeys. That’s why we offer luxury ground transport options designed for animal welfare. Our vehicles are temperature controlled, equipped with soft bedding, and supervised by trained handlers who specialise in animal logistics.
We provide door-to-door service from your UK address to your destination in France. Each journey is mapped carefully to include regular comfort breaks, hydration stops, and updates for owners. Whether your destination is Paris, Bordeaux, or the French Riviera, we select the safest and fastest route possible.
Crossing the Channel can be a challenge for dogs if not properly managed. Our team coordinates the best method of travel for your pet, via Eurotunnel or ferry, depending on the timing, route, and your preferences. We handle ticketing, pet-check registration, and customs clearances on both sides.
Every aspect of the crossing is planned around your dog’s comfort. We ensure minimal waiting times at ports and stations and maintain a calm environment throughout the trip. With years of experience managing UK to France dog transport, we know exactly how to keep your dog comfortable during every leg of the journey.
Once in France, there are still important steps to complete, especially if you are relocating permanently. We coordinate with local veterinary clinics to ensure your dog’s health certificate and microchip are properly registered in France. If required, we arrange local transport to your home and help schedule follow-up vet appointments.
Our service doesn’t stop at the border. We make sure your dog arrives home safely, with all paperwork in order, ready to start life in France with you.
Families moving with more than one dog need extra coordination. We provide grouped relocation options for households with multiple dogs, ensuring they travel together under supervision. Each dog receives its own comfort zone within the vehicle, and our handlers monitor their interaction and behaviour during the journey.
We also offer coordination with your family’s moving schedule, so you and your pets arrive together. This service eliminates unnecessary stress and keeps the family united from start to finish.
Senior dogs and those with medical or behavioural needs require additional care. Our handlers are trained to manage dogs with arthritis, anxiety, or medication schedules. Vehicles include ramps for easy entry and exit, and rest stops are planned according to mobility or comfort requirements.
We work closely with your vet to manage any ongoing treatments during the journey, ensuring your dog’s comfort and safety at all times. With Pearl Lemon Pet Transport, your dog is treated with compassion and expertise throughout the relocation process.
Relocation doesn’t end when the vehicle stops. We follow up after arrival to ensure your dog has adjusted well to the new environment. Our team provides guidance on settling routines, hydration, feeding schedules, and behaviour during the first few days in France. We remain available for post-move support, answering any questions about your dog’s adaptation, local regulations, or further travel.
This aftercare service ensures continuity of care and peace of mind, long after the transport is complete.
