Pet transport to Cyprus
Trusted experts in pet relocation to Cyprus
Pet travel to Cyprus from the UK involves careful planning, the right veterinary paperwork and flight routes that comply with Cyprus import rules. Even small errors can cause delays at customs or prevent your pet from entering the country as planned.
Transfur Animals has been providing professional pet moving services to Cyprus for over 20 years. Our team looks after the practical details of the move, including veterinary paperwork, travel containers, flights and customs clearance once your beloved pet arrives in their new country. Plus, we give you a choice of suitable pet-friendly airlines, rather than limiting you to a single route.
You can choose a full end-to-end service or ask us to support specific parts of the process. Either way, your pet’s comfort, safety and welfare remain our top priority throughout the move.

Why Pet Travel to Cyprus Needs More Planning
Cyprus has clear rules for bringing pets into the country that need to be followed in the right order. And most issues arise when something is done too late, or paperwork is missing at the point of entry:
1. Microchipping must be completed before rabies vaccination
2. An animal health certificate is needed before departure
3. Pets will not be accepted if documents are incomplete or incorrect
4. Customs clearance is required on arrival in Cyprus
5. Rabies vaccination is required before travel
