MuttMeisters DEFRA licensed Pet Transporter UK, serving England, Wales and Scotland. MuttMeisters - Because every dog deserves a first class ride!

Also offering Doggy Days Out and other Pet Services in Kington, Herefordshire and surrounding area. When you need to get your pet to a destination our DEFRA licensed national pet transport service based in Herefordshire, UK is a good choice. We can get your pet to and from places such as the vet, groomers, boarding kennels, animal shelters, dog shows, or even breeders. If you are moving house you

can also benefit from using our pet transport service to anywhere in the UK. Based in Kington, not far from the England/Wales border, we are well located for transporting your pets in Wales, West Midlands, South West and North West England. However, we cover the most of the UK mainland. OUR VEHICLE

We have a fully equipped vehicle with 5 custom built cages. Each cage has an escape hatch in the unlikely event of an emergency. They also have anti-slip flooring and a quilted lining for your pet's comfort. We've even thrown in a few wool filled pads for their joints. The van itself is fully insulated and ventilated. There is also a viewing area so that we can see your pet from inside the cab. OUR OBLIGATIONS

We hold a DEFRA Animal Transporter Authorisation Type 2 'Conditional' which permits us to transport dogs, cats and rabbits anywhere in the UK. The total duration of the journey with the animal on board is 12 hours from on-loading to offloading at the final destination. It also means we have to adhere to strict animal welfare guidelines. To keep your pet safe, we will be stop and check on it throughout the journey. Your pet will be offered water, and food if necessary, and toilet breaks when needed. We endeavour to ensure your pet will have a comfortable and stress free ride. Although it's not mandated by DEFRA, we do insist that pets have up to date vaccinations prior to travel. We also recommend they are flea and worm treated. This is to avoid any potential cross contamination and to protect vulnerable pets. Unfortunately, we're unable to accept pets that are not fully vaccinated unless in an emergency. They must also be micro-chipped as required by law. Please note that we are not licensed to carry people so you will not be able to travel with your pets. For all your pet transport and relocation needs we're happy to assist.

Mission accomplished! 🚐🐾

The plans changed, but the goal stayed the exact same: get these two beautiful cats to their new pet mum!

I was originally supposed to move them tomorrow (Sunday), but with the weather forecast hitting a scorching 29Β°C, I knew we had to act fast. By law, you cannot transport animals when it is over 30Β°C outside in a non-climate-controlled van. Since my van has ventilation only, waiting until Sunday would have been illegal and dangerous for the cats. Animal welfare always comes first! πŸ”₯

I reached out to the adopter to suggest shifting the trip forward to today. She immediately checked with the team at Mad Animal House Cat and Small Animal Rescue in Nether Kellet, and everyone jumped into action to make it happen. Teamwork makes the dream work! πŸ™Œ

Check out our Pet Transport Album to see the precious cargo in their crate, and check out my latest Reel to hear more about the legal temp limits and how incredible this rescue charity is! πŸ“£

The best news? They have safely arrived in Northampton and are settling into absolute paradise. They’ve got a massive new catio, a giant running wheel to play on, and four new feline roommates to bond with. Life is good! 😻✨

(Check out our album to see a photo of these two sweethearts in their crate during the trip! πŸ“Έ)

The Reality of Pet Transport!

Behind the scenes at Muttmeisters... Swipe to see the damage! ➑️🫣

On the left: The face of an absolute angel. A stunning Frenchie x English Bulldog cross traveling with us up to Scotland for Paws of Hope Bulldog Rescue. πŸ˜‡πŸΎ

On the right: What happens when that angel isn't quite crate-trained and decides to remodel the van! He completely shredded his cage lining and bedding pad during the journey. πŸ›‹οΈπŸ’₯

But you can't be mad at a face like that! This is exactly why we do what we do. Anxious travelers need patience, reassurance, and a calm, quiet environment. Because he was our only VIP passenger on board, we could give him all the time and extra TLC he needed to settle down and arrive safely. πŸ‘‘β€οΈ

The bedding didn't survive, but he made it to his destination happy, healthy, and safe. Mission accomplished! πŸŽ―πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 CROSSING THE BORDER! 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yesterday, MuttMeisters headed up into Scotland on another mission for Paws of Hope Bulldog Rescue! Check out the video passing the Gretna sign. πŸŽ₯πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

On board was an absolute gentleman - a Frenchie/English Bulldog cross. He had the sweetest temperament, but because he wasn't crate-trained, his anxiety kicked in and he tore his cage lining to pieces! 🫣

This is exactly why our VIP Journey matters:
πŸ‘‘ Single Passenger: No other dogs to escalate his stress.
🌳 Extra TLC: Dedicated patience and reassurance to get him there safely.

Whether they need extra patience or a calm ride, your pets are always safe with us.

Worried about over-vaccinating your dog? 🐾

When our German Shepherds were young, they only received puppy boosters and lived to a ripe old age of 16.

Now, we care for 3 street dogs from Egypt. At 12 years old, two are managing stage-2 kidney disease. Thanks to a strict kidney diet, their levels are back to normal!

Because of their age and health, we really want to avoid straining their kidneys with unnecessary booster jabs. That is why we are looking into Titre Testing.

A Titre Test is a simple blood test that measures your dog's actual antibody levels. The World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) even calls it the gold standard of care!

It is especially vital for elderly dogs whose immunity changes with age. Most dogs hold lasting protection and do not need annual boosters. (Note: This applies to DHP, not Leptospirosis or Kennel Cough).

Big News! We are proudly sponsoring the Kington Show this year on Saturday 12 September, and A P Vet ltd is running a special pop-up clinic right at the event!

We might just book our own seniors in for a check. πŸŽͺProtect your dog's health and skip the guesswork.

Important Update for MuttMeisters Transport & Trips! 🐾🚐

As many of you know, my Pet Transport, Doggy Days Out and Dog Park Trips are a 'one-to-one' service. When you book a date, I hold the entire van and my time exclusively for your pets - often weeks or months in advance!

To keep my DEFRA-licensed van on the road and continue providing the highest level of care, I am updating my booking terms for Transport, Doggy Days Out, and Dog Park Trips starting today.

βœ… What’s changing? To secure a date, I now require a 25% non-refundable Booking Fee. The remaining balance is then due 7 days before the trip.

βœ… Why? This ensures I can manage my schedule and continue helping the many rescues and families that rely on me.

You can review the new terms on my website:

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ https://muttmeisters.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/

My standard dog walking and pet sitting terms remain exactly as they were! Thank you all for your ongoing support, Anne

From Plymouth to Marlborough: Helping the "Gentle Giants" find their feet! 🐾

You may remember Kira, the Romanian rescue I transported a couple of weeks ago. She’s a beautiful girl, but as she settles into her foster home in Plymouth, it became clear she needed a bit more space to be the star of the show!

To help out, I spent my Sunday moving the magnificent Buddy - a Romanian Mioritic Shepherd - from Plymouth to a brand-new foster home in Marlborough.

Despite his size, Buddy is a true gentle giant. He was a fantastic passenger and took the whole journey in his stride. It’s always a privilege to see these dogs move one step closer to their forever sofas. πŸ›‹οΈβ€οΈ

If you are looking to open your home to a magnificent dog like Buddy or Kira, please get in touch with the team at Basil's Forever Sofa . They do incredible work focusing on Romanian rescues and finding the perfect match for every dog.

I’m proud to support organisations like this, offering a 15% discount for rescues and 20% for charities to help get more dogs like Buddy and Kira to safety.
