    Our story

    I'm Kristey — a lawyer, expat, and dog mum. Flying internationally with Kio — both in-cabin and as cargo — showed me just how complicated dog travel gets.

    Even with a legal background, I struggled to piece together airline rules, government requirements, paperwork, and timelines scattered across dozens of websites. Advice was spread across WhatsApp groups, Reddit threads, and Facebook communities — often leaving owners unsure who to trust.

    So I built the tool I wish I'd had.

    Enter your dog's details and travel date, and you'll see suitable flight options, requirements, realistic costs, and who to trust.

    How I choose who to recommend

    I'm not a pet relocation company — I'm the person who researches them for owners.

    I researched 40+ pet relocation companies and spent six months interviewing operators one-on-one, asking the questions owners need answered: what happens to your dog once you hand them over?

    Before I recommend anyone, they must meet the same standard:

    • Credentials — properly qualified, with relevant industry memberships and accreditations.
    • Route experience — proven experience on the UK → UAE route.
    • Animal welfare — proper crates, veterinary involvement, and a plan when things go wrong.
    • Honest pricing — no hidden costs or unexpected airport fees.
    • Communication — a real point of contact and updates throughout the journey.
    • Reputation — genuine reviews with no pattern of unresolved complaints.
    • Clear process — transparent services, realistic timelines, and no surprises about what is included.

    And the question that matters most:

    Would I trust them with Kio?

    If the answer isn't a confident yes, they're not here.

    My list is short. On purpose.

    I keep checking in on the companies I recommend. If standards change, reviews shift, or a better option emerges, I update this page. A recommendation is only valuable if it continues to put your dog's safety and wellbeing first.

    I may earn a small referral fee if you book through my recommendation. It costs you nothing extra — and the recommendation is the same either way.

    Our mission

    Dog travel is emotional enough without having to piece together scattered information on your own. Furs Class Travel exists to make it clearer, less overwhelming, and honest.
