About Me/ Company

UK Dog Transport was first established in April 2014 after its owner Tim Dunton had been working closely with various breed specific dog rescues to offer transport services, home checks and dog assessments.

We are fully licensed and insured to carry dogs and cats and also canine first aid trained. We can run a door to door bespoke service within mainland UK and can be seen zipping up the motorway to Wales, Scotland and rural parts of England. We also offer a chaperone service for pets that are relocating to/from Europe via Eurotunnel, Flight or Ferry.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions on travel in Wales and Scotland for the general public our services have been inundated with requests for help to transport puppies to their new homes. Usual kennel club advice is for new owners to see ‘mum’ and litter of pups in a home environment before committing to purchase.

With coronavirus this has meant that puppies cannot be seen and purchases have been made on trust, often with substantive amounts of money being transferred to breeders of puppies.

As in all walks of life this has been a golden opportunity for fraudsters and scammers to prey on those who are vulnerable and alas a few enquiries I’ve had in recent weeks, hundreds of pounds have been transferred by bank transfer to fraudsters accounts and buyers have been left with non existent puppies and a hole in their bank balance.

As well as offering door to door and safe & secure transport, UK Dog Transport can act as an agent for both buyer and seller to ensure there is a physical ‘puppy’ for sale and to make sure funds are then transferred appropriately.

As we offer a door to door service you can be assured that we won’t exchange puppies for sale at motorway service stations as is often the case with unscrupulous breeders.

During these unprecedented times we are looking to keep up with demand and offer additional services to our customers.

These include:

- Pet Sitting at owners home
- Dog Walking , Owners Dog(s) Only
- Transfer of Pets from Vets to Animal Referral Hospital
- Emergency Out Of Hours Service
- Kennelling including pick up and delivery service to DEFRA approved kennels (within 50mile radius of Bristol/Swindon)

All our staff are fully insured and DBS Checked.

Previous Experience

Customer testimonials:
“Lost Souls Sanctuary have used Tim Dunton for internal transport since 2015.
We use Tim because he is consistently reliable, very reasonably priced and above all he is wonderful with the dogs he transports and they always arrive in a calm state.
Lost Souls take in some of the most difficult dogs, many of which have been very problematic during the journey to the UK. It is a testimonial to Tim's skills as a handler that he is able to calm them down.
We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Tim and UK Dog Transport.”
* Anne Lewis, Lost Souls Sanctuary

“Tim is professional, and if it’s a welfare or rescue mission you know you can trust his discretion. Best of all, he loves dogs so it’s more than a business to him.”
* Teresa Demetriou, UK

“David and I wanted to say a huge thank you for providing such a professional and stress-free services in transporting our much loved cats Daisy and Rambo over from Wales to Copenhagen.
We had no idea where to start and you seemed to do all the hard work for us! Your communication was fantastic with both ourselves and between the cattery Daisy and Rambo were based at, you made the whole process very easy. You came highly recommended and so we knew our cats were in safe hands. We were concerned as they had never travelled before how they were going to react, but they have settled in incredibly well, almost immediately, and I do think it's because of how you were with them on the journey, always putting their welfare first.
We are very grateful and we will most definitely recommend you to anyone needing cat/dog transporting and of course wherever we are in the future we'll be using you again. Thank you so much.
* David and Amie Vine, Sweden

“I have used Timothy twice now to transport my Rommie dogs from up country to Cornwall and I can't recommend him highly enough. He cares about the dogs and keeps in good contact. He helped make a stressful time much easier.”
* Michelle Winn, UK
