At 5 Star Pet Transport, we believe every pet's trip should be comfortable, safe and stress-free. Recently, we had the absolute pleasure of driving Dom, a charming English Bulldog, all the way from the elegant streets of Paris to the sunny coast of Barcelona.
Just take a look at the photos we captured on the road. With his squishy face, big bat ears and a personality to match, Dom brought plenty of character to the trip.
Pet transport from Paris to Barcelona is a long ride of roughly 1,000 km, and it needs extra planning for flat-faced breeds like English Bulldogs. They can struggle with heat and stress, so comfort comes first. Dom settled into his secure, spacious enclosure in our climate-controlled van, with plenty of fresh air and a calm, steady environment while we took care of the driving.
We made regular rest stops along the way, about every four hours, so Dom could stretch his legs, have some fresh water and sniff out every new corner of France and Spain. His family also received photos and updates throughout the journey, so they knew he was relaxed and happy the whole way.
By the time we crossed into Spain, the air was noticeably warmer, and Dom was bright-eyed and ready for his new life in Barcelona. Seeing a pet reunited with his family is exactly why we do what we do.
Because both countries are EU members, dog transport from France to Spain is straightforward under the EU Pet Travel Scheme. Your dog needs an ISO-compliant microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and an EU pet passport. You can find the full details on our pet travel checklist.
Thank you to Dom's family for trusting 5 Star Pet Transport with your precious companion. Dom was a phenomenal passenger, and we wish him a wonderful life in Barcelona! 🌞
