At Purrfect Pet Transport, we’ve been transporting dogs and cats since 2018, supporting both private pet owners and registered rescue organisations. We know every journey is different, so we tailor each one around your animal’s needs, not just a schedule.

Why People Choose Us....
Pam Richards: Mark brought our 8 cats back from Portugal.
Highly recommend.
Michelle Blake: I recently had my three dogs transported by Perfect Pet Transport from North East England to the Algarve. I would highly recommend their services for any pet travel. They kept me updated throughout the journey and provided a tracker on the van, so I always knew where my dogs were. They also took photos at every stop and shared them on Facebook. I give them a 10/10!

About Food and Travel
If your pickup is before 1pm, we ask that the morning of pickup you do not feed your pet breakfast. This will help in preventing an upset stomach. We will catch up with the evening meal. We also ask that 48 hours prior to pickup that you do not feed them knuckle bones, rawhide bones, people food or anything out of their normal eating. Certain types of bones can splinter off while certain other treats can affect the digestive system. Please send ONLY enough food for the expected transport. We are limited with space and all food items need to be in a small bag no larger than a 5-lb. bag. Please take a black sharpie and label the bag with your pet's name. You may send a small, soft toy or a small piece of cloth that smells like home. Please keep in mind that we are limited with space.
Please can you ensure that your pet/ pets travel light for the journey as the vehicle has restricted space and we cannot transport things such as cat boxes or hard dog beds. Please also ensure that you mark any item you are sending clearly with your pets names on.
With all pet transport, be it by air or by ground, there are risks involved with transporting. Those risks are increased with an aged pet, a pet that experiences high anxiety, or pets with certain medical backgrounds. It is imperative to the health and comfort of your pet to disclose any known past and present medical or health issues. Without knowing the medical background we cannot be responsible for the health of your pet during transport. If there are medical issues that are in the medical records that are not discussed with us we cannot be responsible. Please list all those issues below.
