To which city in the United Kingdom do you need to transport your pet? London, Manchester, Edinburgh… At BaggagePets, we are specialists in pet transportation to the United Kingdom. We are official agents of British Airways, Iberia, and other companies in Spain, and we follow the regulations established by DEFRA (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs) under the conditions of the “Pet Travel Scheme.”
Even though it may be a relatively close destination, at BaggagePets, we know that the procedures and permit management to transport your pet to the United Kingdom can be complicated. For that reason, we offer you personalized service with continuous assistance and guidance throughout all the pre and post-boarding processes.
It’s important to have all the necessary veterinary requirements in order for pet transportation to the United Kingdom. We take care of this to ensure your little one doesn’t encounter any problems when entering the country. Additionally, you’ll need to pay an animal entry fee, which is included by the airlines. Since the Brexit agreement, the requirements for pet transportation to enter the United Kingdom have changed, but we make sure everything is correct.
Some of the departure airports from where BaggagePets operates for animal travel to the UK are Madrid, Malaga, Barcelona, Alicante, Fuerteventura, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Lanzarote, or Mallorca.
If your city is not on the list, don’t worry. BaggagePets also offers a ground pick-up service, where we transport your pet to one of the main airports in the country. This pick-up service is available in the Peninsula, Balearic Islands, and Canary Islands.
