What You Think!
Heather Sims: Alex from Pro-Setter used Chris to transport a dog to the UK and was very happy with the service. An excellent recommendation!
Chris moved my dog from Spain to the UK in March 2012. He provided an excellent service, all arrangements were professionally organised and he updated me throughout his journey.
My dog was well looked after and wasn’t at all stressed on arrival.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and would recommend him to anyone moving dogs or cats from Spain to the UK or UK to Spain.
Excellent job thank you Chris.

Just to say thanks again to you both for meeting and dropping off Guantes this morning. He’s been a gem travelling back up and so far things going fine with our other two.

I had 3 dogs travel with Chris from Murcia to the UK on 9 April together with 7 other dogs, 6 from the Bullas galgo/podenco rescue. Chris was on time at the meeting point, got everything organised and all the dogs loaded up. I was particularly anxious because my big dog is a real nervous chap. Chris left around 12.15-12.30 and, throughout the journey, kept us informed all along the way through his website and Twitter. He had regular stops when he walked all of the dogs and gave them water and so on. Despite a huge tailback near Barcelona (where the van lost about 2 hours of travel time) and dropping off my little puppy in France in the early hours of the morning, Chris reached Calais early. The dogs sailed through passport control and were on the 9.20 shuttle to Folkestone. They thus arrived in the UK 9am UK time. All the drop offs went well and there were lots of happy dogs. I really cannot praise the service more highly and am delighted with the whole process. A 150% recommendation to Chris and his team!!

We would just like to share with you our experience of adopting a beautiful galgo boy Caramelo from Madrid, Spain who we fell in love with.
The BIG issue was how on earth do we get our boy here to us in the UK.
Chris Marshall was introduced to us sometime ago. From the moment Chris agreed to transport our baby to us was so exciting, simple and straight forward, once the ball was rolling it happened quickly & smoothly. Chris’s professionalism and his love for animals was second to non, keeping in constant contact with us at all times as well as looking after the pets along with his co driver Mick.
It was a great honour and a pleasure meeting them both, not to mention the hospitality we had from Chris’s parents in there home while we awaited Chris and our baby to arrive.
This to us made it a fantastic journey with a remarkable ending but new begining.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use Chris Marshall again in the future.
Remember Dont buy adopt the rewards are endless..
A Big Thank You To Chris & Mick
Love From The Wilsons & CARAMELO
Buddy has settled in already. He is absolutely adorable. Thank you so much!
In about a year I plan to adopt another dog, and will do this through you again as the service was fantastic and I am so pleased with Buddy!

A huge thank you to Chris and Mick for safely transporting our puppy from Spain to the UK. Even despite Zach’s size (Rottweiler) he arrived not at all distressed, but happy, calm and well looked after. Chris, from the first point of contact to the end of Zach’s journey, gave a friendly, personal and professional service, where no query or concern I had was any problem. Even when I nearly jumped into the back of the van with excitement to see my baby, it didn’t seem to be an issue. I was taken a back by the sheer interest in each dog Chris and Mick showed, when they began to describe each dogs character. A true love of their job.
During the journey, we received regular updates on both the pups well being and the journeys progress.
We have already arranged for my mums puppy to be transported by Chris in 2 weeks time and have no hesitations in recommending him further.
Thank you so much guys for the wonderful job you do and for caring for the animals as you do.
Sara and Zach
Thank you Chris and Mick for providing such a great professional service in bringing over some pointers on behalf of the Pointer Rescue Service in the UK. It was great to get all the clear information upfront on the planned journey and to excellent to receive the updates and immediate response to current travel times. All this lead to making the dogs journey the best they could possibly had. I could also see that you cared about the girls you were transporting, and that is a huge bonus. They really did arrive settled and as unstressed as they could be after such a journey. A huge thank you and I completely recommend you to anyone considering using your service.

Our first meeting was mutual attraction and the grand plan was hatched to get Whiskey to the UK.
I will not forget his fresh little face when you opened the van doors. On the road for two days, you would not have thought two hours! Once I got him home he met our 3 year old retriever, there was a little posturing, a little marking of territory, a couple of spats but now they are inseparable. In fact in only one week Sam has become very protective of Whiskey. The foul English weather came as a bit of a shock to the little fella but this is not a bad thing. I think any thoughts of him running off back to Spain have been dispelled. The warmth of of our homestead, the gourmet regular feeds, his new best friend and our love and affection seem to agree with him.
The little chap is fine and he has already established a routine with us and our other dogs. He recently walked 9 miles and never put a paw wrong! These ‘strays’ are certainly plucky and resourceful and somehow give an extra dimension to the ownership experience. It is amazing! Their capacity to show their affection and happiness is all the more enhanced by their sometimes unhappy backgrounds.
My wife and I can’t thank you enough for the part you played. I have spread the word far and wide about your service as I am hugeley impressed with your operation.

Two times you brought a dog from Spain to me and both were in excellent condition and happy on arrival.
It is wonderful you keep everyone updated during your trip: that way we all know how it is going and if there is a delay due to traffic or other things.
The way you do these transports gave me a very secure feeling.
I have suggested your company to a lot of people already and will continue to do so.
Anke Zeldenrust
I have just heard from my rehomer that she has Chloe and Spike safe and sound at her home. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking both of you for a fantastic and well organised set up.
Both I and Lesley in the UK were very very impressed with how you works things, from my very first email to you, to the dogs being dropped off in the UK.
You should both be very proud of yourselves.

Chris transported my galgo Eli from Spain to the UK in March 2013. Despite our heavy snowfall that weekend, he managed to get her safely to my home. All the arrangements were professionally organised and Chris kept me up to date with all the travel arrangements. It was obvious Eli had been well cared for en-route, she arrived totally stress free well wrapped and cosy in her coat, she was happy and soon settled.
Chris had been personally recommended to me by two friends who had also adopted galgos into the UK, I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Chris and look forward to booking again in the future when I am ready to adopt another galgo!
Susan Dawson, West Yorkshire, UK
Just to say a great thank you for bringing my two dear girls from Spain to me here in France recently. They were in fine form when they arrived and did not appear at all stressed. Your tracking system is brilliant and made it so easy to meet up in a strange place. I am happy to recommend your service to anyone wishing to transport their pets and will certainly use you in the future when I return to UK.
Cheers
Dawn Courtney-Coles
