Shipping a dog ♥️🐶
 

I have secured transport for my dog through BA’s cargo partner but I am worried I am still unclear on what’s required stateside before we leave.

Does anyone have recent experience preparing their dog for cargo transport to the UK from the States?

I know up to date shots are obvious but I’m fuzzy on the USDA paperwork and pet passport. Appreciate any advice/insight. TIA.

We have done it and planning on doing it again this year. Things have certainly changed since Covid and now you have to use a cargo company if you are flying into the UK (about $4k per dog). We are flying two dogs and will fly to Paris via Air France. They can fly excess baggage for $400 each. We will then be picked up by Taxi and travel to UK via chunnel. If you have Facebook, there is group that is a great resource for the requirements for EU and UK. " US Pets to UK via chunnel &alternate routes". Even if you fly cargo into Uk, the requirements are the same and the members on there have all the requirement details for Paperwork.

Thank you. Yes, I’ve booked through IAG (BA’s cargo partner) but just worried about getting all the paperwork ready. Our family vet is helping but even he is unsure about a couple of things 🥴
