The are a number of contacts you can speak to when looking to transport your animal in or out of Guernsey.

Below are some of the key contacts, transportation companies and also don't forget to speak to your vet for further details.
If you are thinking of getting a pet from outside of Guernsey the GSPCA policy for the Importation of animals from mainland Europe and beyond is as follows -
'The GSPCA does not encourage the importation of animals from rescue centres in mainland Europe or further afield. Sadly, these animals do not always adapt well to life in a domestic household. Imported animals may also bring exotic diseases into the UK, and to our islands. These diseases are not indigenous to the British Isles and risk putting the welfare of our animals and community at risk. This is contrary to the aims and objectives of the GSPCA.'
For charities looking for help in mainland Eurpoe we would direct you to the EU Dog and Cat Alliance which we are members of. The EU Dog and Cat Alliance encourage each country to work within their borders as best they possibly to improve animal welfare and sharing best practice with those across the EU to improve the livesof dogs and cats and to find out more please visit http://www.dogandcatwelfare.eu/
