Start with the page that matches where you will actually travel from and to. These regional groups make it easier to compare nearby routes without treating a different city or direction as the same journey.
Compare nearby Channel-region routes by the city where the journey actually starts or ends. The direction matters: UK-bound collections and UK departures are listed separately.
These route pages separate northern France, southeast France, the South of France and Spain. Use the page that matches your real pickup and delivery addresses.
Italian city pages focus on their own collection region. Share the exact address, not only the nearest large city, when requesting a route review.
Choose the page that matches the Swiss city and direction. The full address and the pet’s travel needs are still required for a useful quote review.
Planning process
A private pet taxi quote depends on more than the distance between two cities. We review the address pair, the number of passengers, pet size, luggage, likely comfort stops, Channel crossing options and the timing needed for a calm journey.
Send the pickup address, destination, preferred date, pet type, passenger count and luggage needs.
Owners remain responsible for valid pet documents, vet advice and official travel compliance.
The route is planned around driving time, comfort stops, Eurotunnel availability and arrival targets.
Dogs and cats travel with their owners in a private vehicle rather than shared animal transport.

About Silver Pet Travel
Silver Pet Travel is a DEFRA-licensed private pet transport service (UK licence UK/REIGA/T2/00115179) operating owner-accompanied pet taxi journeys between Great Britain and continental Europe. Silver Pet Travel UK LTD is also listed as a Type II authorised transporter by Ireland’s Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Check the current APHA Type 2 register and the official Irish Type II transporter list.
The routes listed on this page cover the most common journeys requested by owners travelling with dogs and cats between the UK, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands. All journeys are private, meaning the vehicle is not shared with other passengers or pets. Each route is planned around the specific pickup point, destination, travel date, Channel crossing slot and the welfare needs of the individual pet.
Silver Pet Travel does not offer a fixed-schedule courier service. Each enquiry is discussed with the owner to review the itinerary, documents, timing and welfare needs before arrangements are confirmed. Owners travelling with dogs should ask their vet and consult current official guidance about tapeworm-treatment timing if it applies to their journey.
For journeys between the UK and Switzerland, owners should note that Switzerland is not a member of the European Union and that Swiss pet entry rules may differ from those that apply when travelling to or from EU countries such as France. Confirming the correct document type with a vet and official guidance sources before booking is always the recommended starting point for any international pet journey.
Send your collection address, destination, travel date, number of passengers, pet type and any luggage or crate details. Silver Pet Travel will review the route and confirm the information needed to prepare a clear quote.
