Cross-border pet taxi for owners travelling with dogs or cats
Silver Pet Travel arranges private journeys from mainland Europe into Great Britain for owners travelling with their own dogs or cats. This page covers wider European routes, not one city pair.
Use this page for broad European routes
Europe to UK pet transport is different from a single airport or city transfer. The starting point may be a private address in France, a hotel in Belgium, a relocation address in Germany, or an airport collection in the Netherlands. The destination may be London, Kent, Scotland, Wales or another UK address.
Use this service when your journey is not just one simple city-to-city route and you need the collection country, crossing plan and UK destination checked together.
European collection areas
Coverage depends on date, route length, pet needs, passenger details and licensing suitability. Send the exact addresses before assuming availability.

Other European starting points can be reviewed individually where licensing, route length and travel preparation are suitable.
A Europe to UK pet taxi quote is built from the full journey, not just mileage. We review the route before confirming whether the job is suitable.

Before travel
Silver Pet Travel can explain the route and general preparation points. The owner remains responsible for valid documents, treatments and official entry compliance.
Pet entry rules can depend on the departure country, pet species, vaccination history and destination. Owners should confirm the current rules with their vet and official government guidance before travel.
Microchip details, rabies vaccination records and travel documents should match exactly. Errors can delay or prevent entry, so they should be checked before the booking date.
Dogs entering Great Britain normally require tapeworm treatment within the official timing window. This must be arranged by the owner with a vet before arrival.
Long-distance road travel is easier when the pet has the correct carrier, food, water, medication if needed and enough comfort items for the journey.
