Most of our routes head south into Spain and Portugal, so Copenhagen stands out as one of the few we run north. Our pet transport Netherlands to Copenhagen service follows a different corridor entirely, through Germany and across into Denmark, and it comes with its own specific considerations.
A Different Direction, A Different Checklist
Because this route runs through Germany rather than France, the border and rest-stop planning differs from our Spain-bound routes. It's also a shorter overall trip than most of our southbound journeys.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this route go through Germany instead of France?
Copenhagen sits northeast of the Netherlands, so the most direct and pet-friendly path runs through Germany rather than the France/Spain corridor we use for southbound routes.
Are there dog breeds that can't enter Denmark at all?
Denmark restricts a small number of breeds and breed types more strictly than most EU countries. Tell us your dog's breed before booking and we'll confirm whether any restrictions apply.
Is this a same-day or multi-day route?
Typically completed within a day, making it one of our quicker long-distance routes.
Do you also run this route in reverse, Copenhagen to the Netherlands?
Yes — get in touch and we'll confirm the next available departure from Copenhagen.
