Pet transport from Calais to London – a silent journey shared with three dogs
Pet transport from Calais to London: three dogs on the road, and a driver who breathes with them
Calais is not a place, it’s a state of being. The wind here is always different — salty, sharp, a little restless, like waiting. I arrive early, to let everything settle — outside and inside. A cup of coffee in the cab, documents in order, transport boxes ready. But most of all — the dogs.
There are three of them. One is older, large, with thick fur and a gaze like a forest reflected in still water. The second — young, lean, tense like a bowstring. And the third — elderly, with a stiff gait and a muzzle sprinkled with white. Each of them looks at me differently, but all three want the same thing — something simple: for everything to be okay.
Pet transport company: not a van, not a service — a presence
A pet transport company — it’s not a cargo van with metal cages, and it’s not a service. It’s me. It’s the hands that close the box door without a click. It’s the silence I hold in the car. It’s the pause when someone glances at me and asks for water — without a word.
Rules for importing pets to the UK: precision above all
In Calais, border checks are strict. The inspector hands me the chip reader. I scan the microchips myself. She checks the numbers, compares them with the documents, stamps the forms, and hands over the clearance slip. Everything must be perfect. Because the rules for importing pets into the UK don’t forgive errors.
Through the Eurotunnel: pet transportation in silence
We board the Eurotunnel train. Inside — stillness. I don’t turn on music. The dogs lie quietly. One settles after a few turns. The old one curls up and sleeps. The big one watches me. Not nervously — just asking, “Are you still here?” I answer silently, “Yes. I’m with you.”
This is pet transportation — not a transaction, a presence. I check five times: air, light, water. I don’t follow a schedule — I follow their breath. If someone needs a pause, I stop. If someone wants a hand, I give it.
Arriving in London: a quiet ending, the right one
We don’t go door to door. There's one meeting point in London — so the rest don’t have to wait. I stop. I breathe. I walk each dog slowly. I lift the oldest gently, hold him a little longer than needed — so he knows: it’s over.
When I hand over the leash and someone’s smile is quiet and their eyes just a little wet — I know the journey is done. They thank me. Not loudly, but truly.
And I’ll drive again tomorrow. Because this isn’t logistics. This is a path. A connection. And I know how not to lose it.
