If you require us to ship your pet overseas, here's everything you need to know about their journey:
Ensuring your pet’s comfort
We provide a provide a perfectly-sized travel carrier
Pickfords will provide an airline-approved travel carrier, if you do not have one. Travel carriers must comply with IATA regulations for the transport of your pet by air. The travel carrier must be large enough for your pet to be able to stand, sit, turn around and lie in comfortably. This is why it is important for us to measure your pet during the survey, so we can supply a suitable plastic or made-to-measure wooden carrier.
All our travel carriers include water bowls and are lined with a VetBed to ensure your pet has a comfortable and dry bed to relax on during their journey. We also use pheromone sprays (Adaptil or Feliway) in our carriers to create a relaxing environment.
We will provide a VetBed for travel
VetBed is the most effective fabric developed for use pet transport. It's warm, cosy, hygienic, and has excellent drainage properties, allowing liquid to drain throughout to an absorbent layer beneath. VetBed ensures that your pet will make its journey in complete comfort.
