DEFRA Transporter
24/7 Pet Ambulance
Emergency? We're moving in minutes.
Fast, calm transport to the vet day or night. We contact your vet ahead and keep your pet comfortable the whole way.
What we do
Four ways we look after your pet.
Specialists in caring for animals on the move — not a courier doing pets on the side.
Pet Transport / Pet Taxi
Door-to-door across the UK. House moves, breeder and rescue collections, airport runs, vet visits — in a climate-controlled van with secure travel cages.
Emergency Pet Ambulance
Day or night, fast response, calm trained handling. We contact your vet on the way so they're ready for you.
Vet Collection & Delivery
We collect your pet from the vet after treatment or surgery and deliver them safely home — perfect when you can't get away from work or can't drive.
Dog Walking
Solo and small-group walks around Bradford and the moors — the same insured, DBS-checked walker every time, and a photo report the moment they're home.
DEFRA-registered & insured
Independently verified welfare

"Quick comfort stop near Sheffield — Bella's had a drink and a stretch, all calm 🐾"
Peace of mind
You're never left wondering.
Ask anyone who's used us what they remember and it's the same thing: we kept them in the loop. The hardest part of handing over your pet is the silence — so we remove it.
Photo updates en route
Pictures and messages at pickup, comfort stops and arrival.
Same-day quote replies
No waiting days for a callback. Usually within the hour.
You talk to the family
One small team who know your pet — never a call centre.
How it works
Booking is easy.
Three steps from first call to "they're home and happy".

"J&R moved our two cats to Glasgow without a single drama. Constant photo updates and they arrived calm and happy."
"They got to us in 12 minutes when our spaniel collapsed. The driver was unbelievably calm — they rang the vet ahead and we just followed. Genuinely lifesavers."
"Picked our boy up from the vet after surgery so we didn't have to leave work. He was wrapped in a blanket on a memory-foam mat and home before us."
