Video monitoring
To ensure we can keep an eye on our passengers we have 4 video cameras installed in the back to allow us to keep a watchful eye on everybody whilst travelling

Animal Crate Sizes

We have a range of crate sizes on our bus and can cater for some large dogs if required. It is important that you look at the size of your dog and crate size required, as there are legal requirements to dog size and crate.
Length: While standing, the dog or cat should be measured from the tip of its nose to the base of the tail. Between 5cm and 12cm should then be added to this (from cats and small dogs to large dogs) to calculate the correct length of container.
Height: While standing, the dog or cat should be measured from the tips of the ears (for pointed eared dogs) or the top of the head (for floppy eared dogs) and then between 5cm and 12cm should be added to calculate the correct height of the container.
Width: While standing, the dog of cat should be measured at its widest point (usually the shoulders). The width of the container should be calculated at 2.5x the animalβs width.
Crate Sizes cm | Length | Width | Height |
XXL | 121 | 76 | 84 |
XL | 108 | 72 | 77 |
L | 90 | 62 | 70 |
M | 76 | 54 | 62 |
S | 60 | 45 | 52 |

Lecia Rees 2023-01-11T23:05:22+0000 In 2020 Purrfect Pet transport transported 2 of my dogs from Portugal to the UK. I can only say that I couldn't have... chosen a better pet transport. They collected Cara and Charlie from the kennel in Setubal, dealt with all the paperwork and delivered them safely to us in Wiltshire. I was so impressed with the communication beforehand and during the transport. A couple of months later they transported our Doberman Riva, who was with my elderly parents-in-law near Leiria. Riva was at the time a very anxious dog, but that was no problem for them at all. We cannot thank you enough, as with the lockdowns at the time, we were so anxious about possible problems.

The fact that the dogs are always double leashed during walking stops puts your mind at rest with regards to their safety during stops for walks. Having a tracker on their transport vehicle enables you to follow them every step of the way and for those waiting for their furry companions this is quite reassuring. I would highly highly recommend them.read more

Gail Lithgow 2020-01-26T17:53:10+0000 Mark and Chloe did a sterling job of transporting all their precious charges to the UK as swiftly as possible ( 2 days... to Devon from Central Portugal). They kept them safe and secure, not leaving the van during the night, and making sure the dogs had two leads on during their regular pitstops. The van tracker was reassuring so we could see the journeys progress, as was the photos of their walks. It was amazing to have our rescue dog delivered to our door ( despite the tiny windy lane). Our dog was amazingly resilient to the journey, which seems to be soon forgotten, and has relaxed and settled into his new home straightaway. Thank you for being the final piece in this rescue plan.read more
