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

Find Out How We Can Help You

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.

  London Relocation was wonderful during the stressful time of navigating the London housing market, especially, Corrina and Sascha. They listened to all concerns and answered every question no matter how big or small and helped to find a flat that was perfect. Not only did they help through the renting process but they both went out of their way to help sort out bills, council tax, etc. Without them moving to London would have felt impossible.

  LR was incredibly helpful in finding me a flat within tight constraints and I was able to move in 2 weeks after arriving to London which I didn’t think would be possible. The entire team: Corrina, Mel and Sascha have been so wonderful to work with and looked after me from the very start and made this the least stressful move that I’ve ever experienced. Highly recommend their service!

  I can not say enough about my GREAT experience with London relocation. They made the move from NY to London super smooth. The thorough intake call, the very thoughtful and substantive viewing day, and overall securing of a flat process could not have been smoother! So lucky to have had Corrina and Sascha helping me. Mel, the agent on the viewing day was AMAZING. She was fun, energetic, and made the whole experience feel good. She negotiated expertly on my behalf. Can’t say enough good things all around. If you are relocating to London, USE THEM. Don’t attempt to do it alone. Thank you all so much!

  Corrina and Sascha were incredibly helpful finding my family and I our new home in London. My husband received a promotion that lead us to relocating from Atlanta to London in a little over two months, which with a job, a home, and a dog to organise prior to moving, finding a new place to live was a huge stressor. After my first consult call with Corrina I felt completely at ease that they'd be able to find us the perfect place to live, even with the added "pets allowed" requirement. We opted for a fully remote search, and it was nerve-racking not being able to see the properties in person, however Sascha and Corrina answered every little question we had throughout the process. We've been in our new flat for a few weeks now and couldn't be happier. It checks all the boxes, and our dog loves it too!

  Couldn’t have done it without the help of the team at London Relocation. We were able to secure a flat for our daughter within a day and pain free! A big thanks to the whole team.

  Even though the services were out of my budget, the customer service was beyond great. After submitting the form, I received a prompt call within a few minutes. The agent I spoke to, Shanti, was so incredibly helpful and gave me a lot of advice to navigate the housing market as an international student.

  I moved to London to start a new university job with zero time for flat hunting. I really appreciated how LR took that and related tasks on. The London rental market is nuts and it helped to have these knowledgeable & responsive champions in my corner. Toasting them from my new balcony!

  Mel/Sascha/Team were all very professional and efficient in finding me a place to live with my fur baby! They really put me at ease and gave real honest opinions on each of the places I've seen. Very glad to have used them coming from NYC!

  Wrapping up our time with the London Relocation team and it could not have been a better experience. From the get go, Sascha was super responsive to our initial inquiry, detailed, thorough and kind on our prelim and follow up calls, and on the viewing day Mel was amazing as well and such a great advocate for us when visiting the different units. We managed to secure the flat of our dreams and thanks to the help of the entire team who managed the go between with the leasing agent, the multi step process to rent was super smooth and clear. Never having rented in the UK before, my husband and I are certain that if left to our own devices, this would have been a challenging and painful experience and we're both so glad to have had the guidance from the entire London Relocation team the entire way through. We cannot recommend them enough to anyone and everyone, especially if you're new to renting in the UK.
