Pet transport from UK to Luxembourg and Luxembourg to UK. PetVoyageUK provides door-to-door service to Luxembourg City and all areas of this small but prosperous nation via Eurotunnel. Whether you're relocating for work at EU institutions, banking, or simply moving with your beloved pet, we provide a safe and comfortable journey.
Why Luxembourg?
Luxembourg is one of Europe's wealthiest nations and a major hub for international business. Many British professionals relocate there for careers in:
- EU Institutions: The European Court of Justice, European Investment Bank, and other EU bodies are headquartered here
- Banking & Finance: Luxembourg is a major European financial centre with hundreds of international banks
- Tech Companies: Amazon, PayPal, and many tech giants have European headquarters in Luxembourg
- Consulting & Law: Big Four accounting firms and international law practices maintain significant presences
For these professionals, bringing their pets is essential. We regularly transport dogs and cats for families making this exciting move.
Pet Transport to Luxembourg City
Luxembourg City is the capital and where most clients need pet transport. The journey from London takes approximately 7-8 hours via the Eurotunnel and through Belgium.
Journey Overview
- Distance: Approximately 380 miles from Folkestone
- Duration: 7-8 hours including Eurotunnel crossing
- Route: Folkestone → Calais → Belgium → Luxembourg
- Breaks: Regular comfort stops for your pet
The entire country of Luxembourg is easily accessible from the capital – the country is only 51 miles long and 35 miles wide, so we can reach any location within an hour of Luxembourg City.

Luxembourg: Small Country, High-Frequency Pet Demand
Luxembourg generates an unusually high pet-relocation demand for a country of its size, driven by the Grand Duchy's role as a major EU institution host (European Court of Justice, European Investment Bank, Eurostat) and its world-leading per-capita financial services concentration. Most British pet relocations to Luxembourg involve corporate or institutional postings.
The Luxembourg Drive
From the Eurotunnel, Luxembourg City is approximately 5 hours of driving via the A26 east of Paris into the Belgian Ardennes and across the Luxembourg border. The route is reliably traffic-light outside Friday afternoons. Luxembourg's tiny size means destinations anywhere in the country are within an hour of the capital.
Luxembourg Pet Documentation
Luxembourg follows standard EU pet movement rules. The Animal Health Certificate process is identical to France or Germany. The country has no specific national pet database equivalent to Belgium's DogID, but most municipalities maintain voluntary registration schemes for residents.
Luxembourg Pet Culture
Luxembourg City is genuinely pet-friendly with excellent veterinary care, a high English-speaking provision in vet clinics, and a strong pet-services industry serving the international expat community. The Pétrusse and Alzette river valleys provide off-lead-permitted walking infrastructure within the city itself.
