We've researched the regulations and have contacted 3 pet relocation companies. We'd love to know if anyone did this on their own, with no relocation service? If so, was it a nightmare, or is it just a matter of being organized and careful with paperwork? The cost is so high that we'd like to consider managing this ourselves, if possible. But we're prepared to hand it off if it's just too difficult.
Thanks!!

I brought 2 cats with me from Canada to the UK and it went well. Air Canada were most unhelpful so I contacted James Cargo Service (which have a Livestock service) in the UK directly to speak with them. They take the animals off the plane and into the Animal Control Centre at Heathrow. They were superb and checked my paperwork (faxed over) before I arrived. The staff at Animal Control couldn't have been kinder. Unfortunately my vet in Canada had used the wrong tick treatment for the UK (Revolution is the product there and it needed to be Frontline for the UK), so they were kept in quarantine for a day. James Livestock transported the cats (at my expense to me elsewhere in the UK the following day).
So I never ended up using an agent and it worked out fine.
Bring some of your pet's usual litter and food to help them adjust to everything else being new - as even drinking water will taste different for them.
I hope that helps. Good luck Deborah
