Describe each pet separately
Give the species or breed, age and approximate size of each animal. Explain needs that could affect assessment and whether a travel carrier is already available. A standing photograph and carrier dimensions can help describe size without replacing professional advice.
Check the actual travel requirements
Use current official guidance for the countries and direction involved. Discuss health, preparation and document questions with your vet. Do not assume another pet owner's experience establishes the requirements for your animal, or that a rule applies to every species.
Plan around people and property access
Say who will hand over and receive the pet, where that will happen and which dates matter. Your pet and household belongings may have different arrangements. Explain if the destination property is not ready or if your own travel date is still being arranged.
Keep one household enquiry where useful
When moving your home, tick pet transport and add the animal details to the same request. Use the dedicated pet form when pet transport is the only service required. The request starts assessment; it is not an airline booking or confirmation of a particular route.
Your questions answered
Do I need a second form when I am moving my home?
No. Select pet transport in the household enquiry and include pet information or supporting photos there.
Does the enquiry replace advice from my vet?
No. Your vet and the relevant authorities remain the starting point for health and entry requirements.
Check current pet travel requirements
Start with GOV.UK's guidance for taking a pet abroad where it applies, and the destination authority's guidance for your pet and route. Discuss veterinary preparation with your vet.
