From the domestic house cat travelling on a family holiday to reptiles making their way to a new conservation, their experienced team will handle and take care of animals that come through their doors, 24/7, 365 days a year.
The brand-new facility is equipped with temperature-controlled environments, alongside 48 spacious kennels and 22 catteries as well as isolation rooms for birds and reptiles, providing a safe and secure space for all animals whether they’re travelling inbound or in transit.

Their experienced welfare officers will provide 24-hour care keeping owners and agents informed of the animals’ well-being throughout this period with photos and regular communication.
The Animal Aircare team understand that having a pet travel by air can be a daunting experience which is why they will liaise with customers as much as possible.
“Working alongside local agents, couriers and government agencies has been a very positive experience and we are extremely excited to be able to offer a welfare-driven, customer- focused holding facility at Heathrow. We look forward to caring for an array of species in our purpose-built state-of-the-art facility in 2023,” Jake Holliday, Animal Aircare Heathrow Manager, said.
