We arrange air travel for dogs and cats from US cities to Europe. Founder Anthony Denicker and the team at Pet Transport Pro plan each move, from your first quote to your pet’s arrival.
Anthony has moved pets since 1997, and he had his own TV series about moving pets on Nat Geo Wild. If you’re moving to the UK, Ireland or mainland Europe with your dog or cat, this is what we do.
Here’s how our pet transport service works, step by step.
Dogs make up most of the moves we handle. Size, breed and temperament all shape how a trip is planned, so we build each itinerary around your dog, not a template. See our dog transport page for how it works and what your dog needs for Europe.
Cats travel differently than dogs. They usually settle better with less handling and a quiet kennel setup. If a cat and a dog are moving together, we plan both on the same itinerary wherever we can. Read more about cat transport.
Moving abroad is a lot to manage. Our pet relocation services take your pet’s part off your list: the route, the kennel, the paperwork, the timing and check-in.
Many European countries share the same entry rules for dogs and cats coming from the US, including France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, so the steps often look alike. The UK has a few rules of its own. See our guide to pet transport to Europe.
These are the countries pet owners ask us about most. Each page explains what that move involves.
It depends on your pet's size and kennel, the city you're leaving from, where you're going and how many pets are moving. Ask for a free quote and we'll go through the options with you.
Plan 60 to 90 days ahead, and longer for some destinations. The kennel should be bought more than a month before the flight. The sooner you call us, the easier it is.
For most destinations, rabies is the only core vaccination your pet needs, and a 15-digit ISO microchip is enough. There's no titer test for the UK, or for EU countries when you're coming from the US. If you're moving to the UK, some rabies vaccine brands come with a wait of 30 days or more, so check the timing with us before the vet visit. We'll tell you exactly what applies to your destination.
Yes. You get an assigned number to track your pet online. It updates when your pet checks in and again when your pet arrives.
Dogs and cats. If you have more than one pet, tell us when you ask for a quote and we'll plan them together.
Most major international airports in the lower 48 states, including New York JFK, Newark, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington Dulles, Denver, Seattle, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando and the major international airports in Texas. If you live farther from one, we plan the route through the nearest airport that works. From Portland, Oregon, for example, pets leave from Seattle.
