Pet Import for Animals Travelling to the UK.

What you should do before arriving in the UK.

From pet immigration, to pets on holiday, Airpets Oceanic receive pet imports of dogs, cats and many other animals, daily from all over the world. These animals travel to the UK either under the Pet Travel Scheme or under full quarantine regulations.

The Pet Travel Scheme allows pets to travel to the UK without having to complete 6 months quarantine. (Please visit the Pet Travel Scheme page for full details).

Other pets travelling to the UK from countries that do not qualify for the Pet Travel Scheme, must complete 6 months quarantine, and arrive in the UK with an import permit. (Please visit the Quarantine Facilities page for more information).

Making life easy for you!

For the quarantine, we will carry out all the important paperwork on your behalf once the deposit has been paid & date of arrival confirmed.

All you need to do is make the necessary pet export arrangements, following the requirements of the country concerned. Our pet quarantine department would be happy to provide names of Pet Travel Agents worldwide to help with your arrangements.

Remember...

Pets flying must travel as manifest cargo and not as accompanied baggage into the UK.

For more information please visit the Pet Travel Scheme and/or the Quarantine Facilities page(s) of this section or please don't hesitate to contact us.

Marketing Director

Mr. John Woodward established Airpets Oceanic at Willowslea Farm Kennels over 35 years ago as a boarding facility. Previously a farmer and looking to diversify, he saw an opportunity to capitalise on being adjacent to Heathrow and the growing number of people taking holidays - a luxury unknown to him!

Hard work and determination has led John Woodward to be proud of the most comprehensive kennels in the UK today which has now grown to be one of the largest of it's kind. Airpets Oceanic operate from modern offices near Heathrow Cargo and employ a team of experienced staff, dedicated to the import and export of animals.

John Woodward's three daughters are all involved in the day-to-day running of the business. One of those is Gill Lewis who at one time headed the export department and now runs the marketing and corporate side of the business from her office in Herefordshire. Gill has recently produced the Airpets website, designed new brochures, organised promotional events throughout the UK, is regularly invited to write editorials for magazines / newspapers worldwide and deals daily with non-operational issues.
