The Complete Guide to Flying Your Pet with SkyPaws UK

Relocating with your pet doesn’t have to be stressful — not when you have the right team by your side. At SkyPaws UK, we specialise in making global pet travel smooth, safe, and seamless. Whether you’re planning a big international move or a temporary relocation, we take care of the journey so you and your pet can focus on the adventure ahead. Here’s how the process works, step by step.

Requesting a Quote

It all begins with your quote request. Simply fill out our online form or get in touch with a few key details — your pet’s species, breed, age, travel dates, and destination. Every journey is unique, so we’ll tailor your quote to suit your pet’s needs, route requirements, and the latest regulations.

Having a Conversation

Once you receive your quote, we’ll schedule a friendly consultation to discuss everything in detail. This is your chance to ask questions and tell us more about your pet’s personality, medical needs, and travel history. We’ll talk through the logistics, timelines, and paperwork involved so you know exactly what to expect.

Paying the Deposit

To get the ball rolling, we ask for a deposit to secure services and begin bookings. This allows us to move forward with flight reservations, documentation prep, and any necessary vet appointments. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

Putting It All Together

Behind the scenes, we’re piecing together your pet’s journey. This includes:

- Preparing travel crates (if needed)
- Booking flights on pet-safe routes
- Ensuring vet treatments and paperwork meet import/export rules
- Organising collection and delivery logistics

We’ll provide a personalised travel pack so you’re never left guessing — complete with timelines, checklists, and copies of all documents.

Final Payment

As we near the departure date, we’ll request the final payment and confirm all remaining details. By now, your pet’s journey is fully booked and all systems are go. You’ll receive final confirmations, plus tips on prepping your pet for the big day — everything from crate training to feeding schedules.

The Date of Travel

Travel day arrives! Whether you've decided to meet us at the airport, or we're collecting from your home, we’ll be there to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our team tracks every leg of the journey, keeping you updated and reassured throughout. You’ll know exactly where your pet is and when they’ve safely landed.

Arrival in Their New Home

From touchdown to tail wags, your pet’s comfort remains our top priority. Once customs clearance is complete, your pet will either be delivered to your door or collected from a nearby location — depending on the service you’ve chosen. We’ll check in to make sure they’ve settled in happily, and we’re always here if you need support post-arrival.
