How to transport your pet from South America to the UK or Ireland?

Are you looking to bring your pet from Latin America to Ireland or the United Kingdom but unsure about the process? I'm Gabriela, and today at Ohmydog Pet Travel, I'll guide you through the easiest method.

Firstly, let's discuss why we recommend using Spain as a transit point instead of direct flights to these countries. Cargo terminals in Ireland and the United Kingdom, such as Heathrow, have limited capacity for pets on manifest cargo flights and can be costly.

Moreover, the clearance processes can often be lengthy and complex compared to using Spain as an intermediate stop.

At Ohmydog Pet Travel, all pets transit through Spain, where they continue their journey by road in specially equipped vehicles to their final destinations.

In this video, we'll explore three methods to bring your pet from Latin America to Spain:

1. Traveling with your pet yourself.

The first and most popular option among our clients is traveling with your pet yourself. We recommend arriving at least one day before the road trip so your pet can rest. If needed, we can provide information about pet-friendly hotels or dog boarding facilities near the airport.

2. Hiring an IPATA agent.

Another option is to use the website ipata.org, where you can find IPATA agents worldwide who specialize in exporting pets. These agents can assist with both road and air transportation. For countries in Latin America, you'll need to find an IPATA agent in the originating country. It's a reliable way to connect with reputable pet transport companies.

3. Employing a flight nanny.

Lastly, you can opt to hire a flight nanny who will pick up your pet from the country of origin and accompany them to Madrid. Whether in Latin American countries or islands like the Canary Islands, we can recommend trusted individuals who can safely escort your pet during this journey.
