What You Should Know About Relocating Animals

You may run into more resistance from landlords than you’re used to in your home country. That’s because the London housing market is so tight, landlords will give preference to non-pet owners.

Pet approved London flats and homes are few and far between. We know! It’s not cool — but it’s a reality.

Even if a landlord is okay with you having a pet, if the building says no, it stays no.

If the building says yes but the landlord says no, you might still be able to negotiate by:

Meeting the Asking Price versus low-balling
Paying an additional fee
Paying an additional months’ rent in advance

In general, the larger the number and size of your pet(s), the more difficult it will be to find a London apartment to rent. A single cat or small dog is given the most leeway for pet friendly rentals.

Many parks have large off-leash areas (leashes are called “leads” in British English), but be mindful of other animals that may dwell there like horses and deer.

Best London parks for dog-walking: Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Regents Park, Battersea Park, Richmond Park, Hampstead Heath, and Primrose Hill.

London is overall very pet-friendly, with many pubs, restaurants, and shops welcoming dogs inside their establishments.

Dogs can ride public transport, too!

How To Relocate Dogs and Cats To London

What to research for your London pet relocation
- Transporting your pet to the UK: will they need an overnight stay at an airport?
- DEFRA’s Pet Travel Scheme
- Where can you get an EU-approved subcutaneous chip?
- Do you need a UK Pet Passport? Where do I get one in my country?
- Do I need to quarantine my furchild?
- Do I have an airline-approved crate?
- Other UK import rules and requirements (e.g., tests and vaccines)
Veterinary care in the UK
- You have a choice of public and private care. Chains include Hamilton Veterinary Clinics and Village Vet. Pets Naturally is a highly recommended Notting Hill clinic.
- Pet insurance is available through many companies like Tesco.
- PDSA is the UK’s leading veterinary charity.
- The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) provides clinical services and referrals.
- University of Cambridge has an animal hospital with cutting edge treatment of serious pet illnesses.
- Like healthcare for humans, your experience is largely dependent on whether or not you find a good doctor. So do the research, ask around, and take referrals seriously.
Additional tips
- Garden flats make good pet homes, often including backyard space.
- Having other pets to socialize within the neighborhood or the local park is a plus.
- Frequent walks will help your pet get used to the different flora.
- Research in advance which tube stations have elevators/escalators vs. stairs for your pup.
- Pet food is found in most grocery chains, and stores like Whole Foods and Pet Pavilion that offer specialty brands like Lily’s Kitchen and Darlings Real Foods.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment I called Sascha with our move from Turkey it was smooth sailing! She understood our needs perfectly and helped us through finding our home in the UK. Mel helped us wonderfully! We felt like London Relocation was on our corner on every step while moving to another country and especially with 3 dogs! Settling in have been a breeze, everything was taken care of. We weren’t able to attend to the hand off but didnt even worry about it as we knew Mel was there. Thank you so much for everything!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve now used London Relocation for the second time, and once again the experience has been just excellent. The team is responsive, professional, and genuinely committed to finding the right property rather than simply closing a deal. Any Londoner will tell you that finding the right place in this city's rental market is a nightmare, but with this agency, it was infinitely simpler, and you get better deals – better locations, better prices, better viewing experience. I would definitely use their service again and you should too!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Corrina and Sascha were amazing in helping us find a place when moving from Seattle to London. They did a top-notch job guiding us through the entire process as Americans navigating the unfamiliar UK property market. Their knowledge of London neighborhoods, patience with our questions, and ability to find options that matched our needs made what could have been a stressful international move much smoother. Highly recommend their services to anyone, especially fellow Americans relocating to London!
