The simplest form of certification to allow trouble free export and re-entry of pets between Britain, Spain and other European countries is by use of the Pets Travel Scheme Certificate (PETS Passport) issued by DEFRA.

We will undertake all quarantine paperwork and licenses for you to make transporting your pet as easy as possible.
