Are You Moving to the UK With a Dog?
So you’ve decided to relocate to the United Kingdom. Perhaps you’ve taken on new responsibilities at work, you’ve changed the company that you work for, you’re following a loved one or you simply want a fresh start. Whatever your reason for moving, it’s important to make sure that no one gets left behind. And that certainly includes your best friend, your dog.
A staple part of the family, most of us can’t see our lives without our dogs so it’s inevitable that they will be making the journey with you. When it comes to moving dogs to the UK, we have you covered here at Petraveller. With our transport services, your dog is guaranteed a safe and comfortable flight each and every time.
Reliable Transport for Moving Dogs to the UK From Australia
Your dog’s comfort and safety is paramount when looking at taking your pets overseas from Australia to the UK and as with any purchase, you get what you pay for. When flying a dog from Australia to the UK, cost is dependent on the level of service that you choose. You may not want to book yourself onto the cheapest flight for comfort reasons, to avoid a lengthy layover, or to minimise the total time in transit. And the same principle should apply for your dog.
When you choose Petraveller, your dog is in the safest of hands and our services to ensure a successful move to the UK with your dog are second to none. With access to over 2000 flights each and every day across the globe, we will book your dog onto a flight that suits you. Our comprehensive care also ensures that their documentation is arranged, their customs clearance organised, their health certificates obtained and more. Everything your dog needs to join you in the UK, we will cover. And once they are in our care, we provide email, photo and video updates so you can keep up with their journey, monitoring their movements until they are back in your arms, whether that be at the airport or your new front door.
And rest assured that when you receive a quote from our pet relocation team you won’t be hit by any hidden costs so you won’t be left thinking how much should it be to fly a dog to England.

Living in London: A Canine Perspective
My dog pals back home think I’m at a disadvantage living in London following my international pet transport adventure from Australia, because of the lack of exercise facilities compared to the country. What they don’t know is that there is a surprising number of woodlands, estate gardens and riverside walks for me to enjoy (provided Mum or Dad clean up my business along the way). When I’m feeling particularly energetic we take the bus or rail to ‘Doga’ (dog yoga) in East London which helps me relax and calms my breathing. Don’t woof it ‘till you try it! When it’s my birthday, or I haven’t chewed the rug at the front door for a whole week, I’m treated to a wash and fluff dry at one of the local doggy spas in Chelsea, where I catch up with some of my friends – cats, rabbits, and even the tortoise crew. Afterwards we relax at a nearby dog-friendly cafe before I’m tricked into my annual check-up at our vet in Belgravia (eek). All in all, life for a pooch in the city of London is very suitable.
Did You Know?
We all know that Queen Elizabeth II loves corgis, but did you know that she has owned over 30 during her reign? Her Majesty’s corgis are rumoured to enjoy fillet steak dinners specially prepared by the palace chef, and they often fly with her on important business.
