Dog travelling in a vehicle during a EuroPaw Travel Eurotunnel journey

Plan the right journey

Choose the details that shape the journey

The useful starting points are practical: your collection point, UK destination, travel date, passenger details, luggage and how your dog or cat travels best.

Share those details before booking and we can outline the likely road route, meeting arrangements and any costs charged separately, including the LeShuttle ticket.

How it works

From first message to final destination

01

Pickup

We agree the collection point, passengers, pet details, luggage and travel date.

02

Road to Calais

Your private vehicle follows the route from the confirmed European pickup towards Calais.

03

Pet Reception checks

At the Calais Pet Reception, staff check the pet travel details before boarding.

04

LeShuttle

You and your pet remain together in the vehicle for the crossing where applicable.

05

UK delivery

After Folkestone, we continue to the agreed UK address and destination postcode.

Owners remain responsible for ensuring their pet has the correct and valid travel documents. EuroPaw Travel can provide general journey guidance, but does not validate veterinary documents.

Typical journey

A Paris to London route, mapped clearly

Planning example

Paris → A1/A16 → Calais → LeShuttle → Folkestone → M20/M25 → London

A Paris to London journey commonly takes around 6–8 hours, depending on collection location, traffic, pet check-in, border processing and the final London address. This is a planning example, not a customer case study.

Vehicles & pet comfort

The vehicle plan follows the pet and the journey

Tell us what you are travelling with before booking so the space, route and stops can be discussed honestly.

Private vehicle

One booking is planned around your passengers, pet and luggage.

Suitable space

Tell us the breed, size, number of pets and luggage so vehicle space can be discussed before booking.

Rest and water stops

For longer road journeys, suitable breaks and water stops can be planned where needed.

Together throughout

Your dog or cat travels with you rather than in cargo or as an unaccompanied courier journey.

Airport collection

Flying into Europe with your pet?

We collect passengers travelling with dogs or cats from major European airports and continue by private taxi to the United Kingdom. Airport collection is particularly useful for passengers arriving from countries where travelling directly to the UK with a pet can be complicated or require cargo transport.

  • Charles de Gaulle Airport
  • Paris Orly Airport
  • Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
  • Brussels Airport

Please include your flight number, scheduled arrival time, number of passengers, luggage and pet details when requesting a quote.

Arrive with your pet. Continue together by road.

We can discuss the most practical collection point and onward route when you request your quote.

Professional standards

A private service with the right standards in view

EuroPaw is the service operator behind EuroPaw Travel and holds a current UK Type 2 animal transporter authorisation issued by APHA within DEFRA.

All our drivers hold current driver licences issued by Folkestone & Hythe District Council, Canterbury City Council, Ashford Borough Council or Dover District Council, and have up-to-date DBS checks. All our vehicles receive compliance and safety inspections every six months. For Ashford-licensed vehicles, inspections are carried out at a DVSA-authorised MOT testing station and Ashford Borough Council issues a Certificate of Compliance after a satisfactory result; the certificate is valid for six months with a current licence. Owners should confirm veterinary and border requirements with their vet and current official sources.
