Taking Dogs to New Zealand
Moving Dogs to New Zealand from the UK
Compared to some international pet moves, taking a dog to Canada from the UK is relatively straightforward. That said, the paperwork still needs to be accurate, flights need to be planned carefully. If you get any of that wrong and your dog will not be allowed entry without delays.
Transfur Animals has been trusted to handle dog shipping to Canada for over 20 years. Our international pet relocation experts will take care of the health certificates, customs clearance and flight booking, and unlike other pet travel companies, we give you a choice of pet-friendly flights so you are not locked into one option.

Before shipping a dog to Canada from the UK, you will need to:
1. Ensure your dog is vaccinated against rabies
2. Obtain an official DEFRA export health certificate before departure
3. Arrange Canadian customs clearance ahead of arrival
4. Book a suitable IATA-compliant travel container
Please note: No quarantine is required on arrival in Canada, provided all paperwork is correct and in order. To ensure you have everything you need at the right time, our dog shipping experts manage the entire process, so everything is ready well before your furry friend’s flight.
