BRINGING YOUR PET TO THE UK
We provide pet transport under the PETS travel scheme from several countries and for pets from the Canary Islands, Greece, Spain, Portugal and Malta. Via our Global Pet Partner network we are also able to advise on flights back into the UK from most major cities around the world. We only use Defra approved airlines for bringing pets to and from the UK.
Defra is the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Ladyhaye can advise you on all Defra requirements for your country of origin. We ensure our staff are continually being educated about the most current regulations and policies for pets entering or leaving the UK. This enables us to provide you with the most up to date advice and information regarding the relocation of your pet. Contact us if you have any questions regarding your pet’s travel.

CUSTOMS CLEARANCE
All pets need to be cleared by customs on their arrival into the UK and Ladyhaye can act as your Customs Clearance agent. We can facilitate a smooth and stress-free entry into the UK, overseeing all vet paperwork and undertaking a pre-check of all required documents before your pet travels.
Customs Clearance costs vary depending on a number of variables including the airline, arrival airport and the day and time of arrival. Costs also vary depending on when you physically arrive in the UK. If you arrive within five days of your pet this is classed as non-commercial travel. If you arrive more than five days after your pet this is classed as commercial travel and will be subject to tax, require a IPAFFSW certificate and notification to APHA and Defra.
