Transporting dog back to UK - cheapest way?

Postby Helen » Tue Feb 24, 2009 1:07 pm

So far, we have been quoted 470€ door to door, does anyone know of a more competitive company? If so, we'd like to hear from you.

Thanks.

Helen

Can't help I'm afraid, but do I remember rightly, were you the lady that featured in that TV programme with that "dubious" pair, Lee and Cheryl? :D

As Pink Lady said, One Way Van Hire in Torre Del Mar. They can also provide van with driver for your furniture and dog if you prefer to fly.

Hi

We have now decided not to bother taking our furniture because we only have 16m3 and because furniture is so cheap to buy at the moment, we thought we would just purchase more when we got to the UK as it would save a lot of time and hassle.

However, we are looking to transport our dog back to the UK. The most competitive price we have received so far is €450. We are flying back in July and our friend is looking after our dog until the end of August/beginning of September as unfortunately we have to wait for his blood results, but if anyone could tell us of a company that may be more competitive, we'd like to hear from you.

Finally, yes Frank, that was me 'briefly' appearing on the television during A Place in Spain with Lee & Cheryl....what a crazy pair they were!!!

My mum used 'easypet' last year to transport her Labrador back to the UK. She thought they were very good and the dog was fine when she arrived. I would be cautious as I have heard some not very nice stories about dogs not being given breaks and many dogs being transported together so not getting individual attention to their needs e.t.c.
