Question 1

How long does it take to drive a dog from London to Rome?

Accepted Answer

The full London to Rome pet transport journey takes around 24-28 hours of driving, which we split across two days with an overnight stop in France or Switzerland. This keeps your pet rested rather than exhausted.

Question 2

What documents does my pet need to enter Italy from the UK?

Accepted Answer

Your pet needs a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination (at least 21 days old), and a UK Animal Health Certificate (AHC) issued within 10 days of departure. Italy accepts the same documentation as the rest of the EU. We coordinate the AHC timing with your vet.

Question 3

Is it better to fly or drive a pet from London to Rome?

Accepted Answer

For most pets, ground transport is far less stressful than flying. Driving avoids cargo holds, pressurised cabins, and airport handling. Your pet stays in a familiar climate-controlled vehicle with a single driver they get used to. Italy also has restrictive airline rules for snub-nosed breeds, which doesn't apply on the road.

Question 4

How much does it cost to transport a pet from London to Rome?

Accepted Answer

Pet transport from London to Rome starts from £2,635 for a single pet, door-to-door, including the Eurotunnel crossing, French and Italian motorway tolls, and an overnight stop. Larger animals, multiple pets, or specific delivery windows may adjust the price.

Question 5

Do you deliver outside central Rome?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we deliver anywhere in Rome and surrounding regions including Lazio, Tivoli, Ostia, and the wider metropolitan area. Onward delivery to Tuscany, Naples, or southern Italy can be arranged.
