All I can say is Thank You so much…. All the stress and worrying of moving the dogs for nothing really you are amazing people… Dogs arrived earlier than expected and so happy and relaxed. Would recommend CBDH to anyone having to move their dogs. We were kept informed the whole time. One of our dogs even tried to jump back in the van before the boys left lol.
Our other dog is 15 and very nervous and doesn’t really like people that much… To see him with Mark you would never have believed it jumping all over him.
I really can’t thank you enough. Our little Spanish doggies are loving the feel of grass under their feet for the first time… Xxx

Brilliant.Jack arrived fit well and happy. Wouldn’t have thought he had had two days travelling. Thoroughly recommended.

Lubbertus

Where to begin. We had our cat Sooty booked in with another carrier to transport her from our home in Cabo Roig to a cattery in Clevedon UK where we were going to move to. But just 2 weeks before departure they contacted us to tell us they couldn’t do it. We began phoning other carriers but none could fit in with our existing plans. When I called Becky at CBDH I was immediately impressed with her attitude. Yes they could do it for us, but because of the tight schedule could we bring Sooty to the Kennels. We agreed, only to have the plans screwed again, and there was no way we could take Sooty to the kennels in time. We again phoned Becky, and she immediately put our minds at rest. Mark would come the day before to our home at 10.00am and collect Sooty. Talking to Becky was like talking to a friend who was going to come in and look after Sooty while we went away for the weekend, she was so reassuring.

Mark duly arrived on the appointed day; however, he was 5 minutes early!! I suppose we can forgive that small indiscretion. Mark was as reassuring as Becky had been, showing us round the van etc. He seemed in no hurry and was very calming with his relaxed pace.

Mark contacted us on route to tell us he would be arriving at the cattery in Clevedon between 7.00 and 9.00am on the appointed day. We past this on to Tina at the cattery and she expressed that she was impressed by this type of precision. The day Sooty arrived at the cattery we called Tina to check everything was alright. She told us she was well impressed that Mark arrived at exactly 8.00am on the day. She also couldn’t believe that Sooty had been in transit for 2 days has she arrived totally calm and at peace and had gone to find a sunny place to sleep for a while before demanding being stroked (she has a very loud demanding call). Tina told us she was the calmest cat she had seen for some time, and this could only be because she had been treated very well while in transit.

Would I recommend CBDH as a pet carrier? You bet I would. It wasn’t just the professional transporting, it was also the calming a relaxing contacts with both Becky and Mark. They behaved more like friends than anything else. Thank you again Becky and Mark, from all of us here, including of course Sooty.

Beverley Farmer Podencos

Today Arizona and Dori will arrive at their new homes. To arrive at their final destination its quite an involved process, not just the transport arrives and we put them in the crates and wave them goodbye and wipe a tear away. Lots of preparation is done advance.Paperwork to be completed, to legally transport a rescue dog into the UK that will have a change of ownership from us to the new owners it is necessary to comply with TRACES regulations and to use a DEFRA registered transporter. This all takes time documents have to be completed, signed and certificated from a government ministry vet.

Health checks at our vets tick & flea treatment and worming, then the pamper session before they leave so they look their best. Lists of instructions for the new owners, adoption contracts issued and signed. Our transporter to the Uk is Becky Sweetman and Mark Sweetman of costablancadoghoming.com they always go the extra mile for the dogs … one dog to a crate with padded beds so they are comfortable on the journey water in each crate. When Mark arrives to collect them its never rushed he takes his time to introduce himself to the dogs scan the microchip and checks the passports. Becky is super efficient and is screaming at me for paperwork well in advance of the transport. They are in communication with eagerly awaiting families in the UK and give regular updates on route. I get a message to say our dogs have arrived safe which gives me peace of mind.

They also bring back donated food and items for us at no charge and have also brought us podencos released from the perreras to the finca and wont accept any payment for this service. So many people have their part to play to get these rescues from perrera to sofa somehow it all comes together with the occasional scary moments and last minute change of plans. Mark & Becky are very much part of the team that ensure our Podencos arrived safe to their forever homes great people great friends.

Hilary Wightman

If anyone is looking for pet transport look no further than here. Becky was brilliant! Answering all my questions. Mark and Martin, the drivers, so caring and both JoJo my dog and Jack (fat cat) arrived ahead of schedule relaxed and well. Big airy cages and clean fresh beds. I was also able to track them throughout their journey from Alicante to Bodmin, Cornwall. Thanks a million guys!!!!

Julie Day

Cannot express my gratitude enough to Mark and Becky for bringing my Spanish Podenco from the rescue in Spain to my doorstep in the UK. I was kept advised of progress throughout the 2 days the journey took and Mark arrived spot on time with a very happy Dori who had obviously been very well looked after. The rescue had sent several items as well as the official paperwork with my dog and Mark went through them all with me to ensure I had everything. My little Dori was not at all stressed by the 2 day journey.

Jackie Moverley

Where to start an absolutely first class service from start to finish. Was recommend by Benidorm dog home and right from the initial email to the end it has been a great service. Mark collected our 4 dogs at the time agreed and delivered them again at the time agreed, we was kept upto date all the way and the dog well looked after and cared for, the van and cages was spotless. Really nice friendly people and would not hesitate in recommending them or using them again if the needed. Thank you for everything

Emma Guy

I cannot recommend this service more highly. I recently adopted a gorgeous dog from Spain who needed transport over to the UK. Lur has needs beyond others as he is paralysed from the waist down and I was concerned about how he would cope with such a journey. I need not have worried as he was in the best hands! His nappies were regularly changed and he was kept comfortable and relaxed during his journey – he even pined for Mark when he left as he had bonded with him so well on the way over. I can’t thank Becky & the team enough for their help in getting this special little fella over to me.

Trisha Burgess

A massive thank you again to Mark, Becky and team for a super smooth, fast and stress free service. This is the second time I have used your service to bring a rescue over from Spain and I cannot recommend you highly enough. (even though Mark was somewhat reluctant to hand little Bacci over to me ha ha)

My little girl has arrived happy and relaxed, all due to the kindness and care shown to the animals throughout their trip.

Well done and thank you once again. xx

Debbie

A huge thanks to mark, and his team for the great service they gave on bring our cat meg back to england.They turned up exactly when they said they would, and delivered meg safe and sound again at the time they stated, it was a real pleasure dealing with people you can tell who love animals. I would recommend their service to everyone. Thanks again

Ida

Gizmo arrived at our new home in Spain safe and sound on Sunday morning after being collected in the UK on Saturday morning. Such an excellent service and I was telephoned to say what time he’d be arriving. Such a relief knowing he was in safe and secure hands. I will be recommending Becky and her team to my sister when she moves over to Spain. Once again, many thanks! xx

Mandy Marriott

A massive thank you to all who helped transport our cat boogaloo from the UK to Spain she is 12 years old and very timid and is extremely scared when she’s away from us so I was panicking a bit how she would travel but I need not have worried at all everything was perfect from day 1 to her arrival here in Spain and she has settled back in too her routine without any problems at all thank you so much X. Mandy

Claire

Fantastic service. Not only taking such good care of Lucy but keeping us updated. Our dog is such a nervous girl in new situations but Mark and Becky made her feel so at ease she arrived home happy and sad to see them leave! Thank you for taking such good care of her. I can not recommended Costa Blanca Homing enough.

Marcella Birnbaum

Costa Blanca Dog Homing has given a superb service to me and to the many dogs the girls in Murcia and I have homed both in and out of Spain.
Always spotless upon collections/deliveries, always running on time if not ahead of time 😉 They are great communicators, Mark and Becky clearly have a very special bond with the dogs.

The patience that Mark has show to us in his respect and appreciation for each and every individual pet is inspiring. He has a real gift.

Countless times Costa Blanca Dog Homing has come to our aid in support for everything we do… even to the point of transporting donations all the back from the UK to our rescues. Thank you both Becky and Mark for aiding us when in need and offering an exceptional service. Sincerely Marcella <3

Mike

Karen Boyce

Sooooo happy my baby has arrived. Thank you Becky and Mark! I can’t recommend this service enough. Becky was at hand from day 1 to advise of everything I needed to do so that it all went smoothly on the day. Picked up 10/12/2014 and delivered safely to Bristol 12/12/2014 hours before scheduled time and looking well and seemingly unaffected by the journey at all! A fantastic service all round and a very reasonable price too. Would definately recommend anyone to use this fabulous service!!!

Polly Mathewson

I have been overwhelmed by the kindness and compassion and professionalism that I have experienced since I met up with Becky and Mark of Costa Blanca Dog Homing! I am the \”god mum\” of a rescue podenco Pocoyo who has just arrived with his forever family in the UK yesterday thanks to the careful driving of Mark. I have had lovely photos of Pocoyo and his new family all so happy together! But prior to his journey Becky offered foster care for this little pod who is partially sighted, as he had a gap in care before he could travel. Becky and Mark did everything possible to look after Pocoyo in their home, and especially to maintain his eye treatments. Mark continued Pocoyo\’s eye drops through the long journey so he could be really comfortable. I can\’t think of a more kind and caring organisation. I know they also promote and rehome countless animals in need. I am impressed beyond words.

D. Prows

Fantastic: my dog is very nervous and suffers from separation anxiety, therefore we were very anxious. Our nerves were settled very quickly, they walk the dog every few hours and they take photos. My dog arrived and was so happy that you would have thought he had been on a ten minute journey not a Spain to UK. We would have no problem recommending them and will be using them again next year!

Karen Tomalin

A huge thank you to Becky & Mark ! Billie has arrived home from Spain safe a sound. She\’s arrived very happy and is settling in very well. Communication with Becky on Facebook was lovely to be kept updated on how Billie was.

Fantastic 1st class service !

Would use again and tell everyone about the service.

Gill Stops

Dawn

We would like to say a very big thank you to you all for bringing aeon to her forever home am happy to say she has settled well. The transport was great and friendly and the dogs were looked after professional service xx

Kathy Webber

Many thanks for the marvellous service you provided in bringing Tomas (cat) from Calpe to Camberley. He arrived completely free of stress and has settled in wonderfully. We can now stroke him something we couldn\’t do in Spain, and is a joy to have around. So thank you.

We will certainly be recommending CBDH.

Christine Behan

John X

Sonnja

Thank you for transporting our little Nieve. She was only on the van just over 24hrs. She didn\’t stop wagging her tail. The van is clean and the dogs have plenty of space. They all seemed happy in their cages. Door to door service as well. Thank you once again

Pete & John

Brilliant is the best word to describe the way the team transported our elderly, deaf feline princess Dotty from Finestrat to York. They are obviously ALL animal lovers and understand how others feel about their own pets.

We would recommend them to anybody.

Rob and Ros Grover

Comment:: Our dog was delivered yesterday from Spain. I had facebook conversations with Becky as the van was about to cross the channel, and was then able to track the van all the way to my house. Mark and his two colleagues were fantastic, kind with the dogs, and it was all a very happy event.

The whole service is terrific, and the team are helpful, friendly, and make it all happen easily. We would recommend them to anyone. Thanks

Linda Cross

Absolutely brilliant service from CBDH, Becky was so helpful with the problems we were having nothing too much trouble, Mark and his team got the dogs from Spain to us in the UK the next day, the dogs were well and stress free when they arrived, Becky, Mark & the team you can tell love animals as though they were their own and therefore give the best service possible.

I would not hesitate to recommend CBDH to anyone wishing to transport their pets,you get a 5star service from start to finish and on top of that their prices are so reasonable. Thank you.

Victoria Carey

Mark has just delivered Spot and Glissy to our house. Well, we could not be more delighted, by everything. How helpful Mark and Becky have both been, how efficient they are, how well they plan, how much they clearly adore the animals, their communication, their thoroughness regarding feeding, watering, walking, and of course not least the passport process for us novices. Spot thought Mark was the best thing since dog biscuits! I wouldn\’t let a friend use anybody else to take care of their furry family on a journey.
(One very very happy Victoria)

Donata Findlay

Simply fantastic! Amazing service picking up our dog from Alicante airport and delivering her to our door, despite all of the problems which arose with transport and paperwork Becky and Mark were great to deal with and very friendly and helpful throughout. Absolutely went the extra mile for us and will be our first point of contact should we be transporting our dog again. Thanks a lot!

Paula Adley

Thank you all so much for your kind care and attention when transporting my dog Frankie from Spain to England.He arrived safe and happy and is enjoying his new home. Normally I have a problem to get him into a vehicle,because of the attention he got before he set off he just went into the van and cage without a problem,than made me feel so relieved .I can’t thank you enough for your brilliant service would recommend your service to anyone who needs their pets transporting.

Ken & Marian Crunden

Well what can i say
Thank you Mark and Mate i was given a date for the delivery of my rescue dog from spain a couple of weeks ago i was most suprised as a few days ago given a time .i could not beleive this kind of service better than a local delivery ?i looked out of my window and what did i see a gent (Mark )walking down my drive dog on lead spot on time a perfect service and i recommend to anyone the care and service is first class well done.

Nick CPA Orihuela

I have yet to find a more efficient animal transport. Everything is done to the letter. I have been impressed by the small details. Things like photos on the transport cages and small key rings attached to the collar of the dog adding extra security there’d be no confusion to which dog is which. I only hope they do more frequent trips! The van is clearly marked, clean and they ran on time! Great service.

Steve & kerry Dennis

What can I say
Becky and Mark run a very tight ship when it comes to helping move dogs to their new homes!! cbdh are a professional company with professional standards.

I sent my two dogs back to the uk and was assured they would be very comfortable on their trip having been together for a long time becky went out of her way to accommodate a large cage to fit in the van so the dogs could travel together for less stress. regular 3hr ‘ poop’ stops and dining, organised professional caring, in fact they are so good at what they do I am sending them back to Spain just for the ride! lol
thanks guys!

Chris & Judy Brazier

CBDH have just taken our 4 dogs and 1 cat to the UK from Spain. They provide a very efficient and caring service and are thoroughly professional in everything they do. We would unreservedly recommend them.

S jackson

HOVAR are really pleased with the service from CBDH transport. Mark is very friendly and helpful, we get full information the whole time, the cages are wonderful with beds and they make sure they look after the dogs every need. Brilliant team!

Annie Grant

I used cbdh a few months ago to bring my beautiful girl gin over to the uk, they kept me informed through out the journey sent me pictures of what she would be travailing in was really happy with both mark and becky so a big thank you highly recommend you xx

Trisha Burgess

Have just welcomed home my little 3 legged dog Angel from Spain.
Thank you so much CBDH for making it such a safe and comfortable journey for her. Apart from a slight bit of bewilderment about the wet, green grass here, she has obviously not suffered in any way during the long trip. That is of course down to Marc and his cohorts (sorry don’t know your names)and the exceptional care and attention the dogs are given on their journey.
I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.
Thank you.

June Brownlee

I rehomed 2 Bodeguero pups to the UK. They travelled in comfortable soft bedded cages with Becky and Mark.A door to door service and their new owners in the UK greeted two very happy contented puppies.I will always recommend CBDH xxxx

Paul Davies

Just a big thank you for looking after our baby!

We were worried as we had no say who brought her home, but Violet chose your service for us as we were already back in UK.

We were very impressed with the communication all the way to the drop off, and was pleased to see the van which is well set up and all the dogs looked quite happy!

We were glad to see how she was cared for.

Thank you

Paul, Mandy and Mia xxx

Margaret Hunter

Alba was delivered early,happy and well looked after. Very pleased with service , kept up to date with details of travel.

Thanks again

Irene García

Becky, Mark and company were very kind with my little baby. They brought her from Spain, all the cages were clean, tidy and water for them. I really recommend them because they treat them like their own dogs.

Thanks again to be so nice and kind with her and for your patience.

Elizabeth Oram

Both Becky and Mark have been so good to me, and my dogs just loved Mark to bits. I was so worried when Mark picked them up for the journey to UK but I need not have worried as they were so great on the journey and arrived happy and well rested.

The one I worried most about, Jack, actually cried when Mark left for the journey home without him! Well. Guess what? They are returning to Spain with Mark on the 12th October and I will not have to go through all the worry and heartache I did before, as I have every confidence that Becky and Mark will get them back to Spain without incident.

Thank you both for the special service you do provide and for going beyond what anyone could be expected to do for the worried pet owners. I will never forget how you also cared for me!

May Holmes

We used CBDH transport to bring our dog over from Spain. I would like to say he received first class treatment.

Traveled in first class comfort. Had lots if attention. Walks and refreshments along the way. I would highly recommend this transport to anyone wanting to transport their pet.

Aimi

I have to leave a comment as Becky organised all my pet transport from spain to the uk for me. This was for my two dogs and cat. I was so impressed and extremley satisfied with the service. All 3 of my pets arrived happy and safe. I felt happy using Becky and Mark as i felt they were animal lovers, which gave me confidence in using there service.

Becky was always on hand to answer any of my question on the run up to the transport, giving me total peace of mind.

When Mark arrived with my pets he was such a lovely man.

I highly recommend them.

Thank you so much for safely transporting Marli, Rocky and honey. Much appreciated.

Tanamera Rescue Spain

Many thanks for helping us get Gin to her new owners. I was impressed by the van and the comfort for the dogs. Nice dog beds and a lot of space.

I will use your services again without any doubt and recommend it to people that need to transport their animals.

Best regards, Jacky

Chantle Gibson

After finding a very special dog i needed to make sure he was looked after and under as little stress as possible on the way home from Spain to England. Becky was absolutely fantastic and she sorted everything from start to finish.

On the actual day she kept me calm by being on the other end of the keyboard and telling me step by step where my dog was. I had numerous phone calls from Mark to tell me how far away my dog was. That he had been let out to go to the toilet etc.

In fact i think Naruto had been looked after so well that he was ready to get back on the van! I wanted the best for my boy and he got more than the 5* best.

I would use Costa Blanca dog Homing again without even thinking about it. I’m sure Naruto agrees too. Highly recommended

Rosemary Macdonald

I have sent quite a few animals with Becky now since she first started up until the last trip on the 16th September.

They offer such a good service they pick up and drop of at your home. While the animal is with them they take really good care of them, they have extra bleeding for any accidents anti slip owls so your pet has access to water and they even can provide a service for cats and have cat litter. I am very happy with them especially as the dogs that I send with them are all rescues and so some of them need special care as they are easily traumatised.

The team look after them so well they are always relaxed and happy when they reach their destination. They are my first choice for taking animals to the Uk I cannot recommend them more highly and would be happy to send my own pets with them.

No Name

We used Mark and Becky at Costa Blanca Dog homing to bring our little girl Molly over to us just over 4 months ago.

Becky arranged everything for us, so we had no worries at all. We were kept informed every steep of the way with updates. Molly arrived within 15 mins of the due time, looking very happy and healthy, after her long journey, not at all stressed.

Her cage was clean, warm and very comfy. The front of the cage had her photo on it with all her details and her lead. We offered Mark and the other drives (sorry I don’t know your names) a drink and something to eat, but No they would not stop as we were the first drop, and they wanted to get the other dogs and a little cat to there new homes asap.

I would highly recommend this wonderful service to everyone.

Terry Lee Dunn

If you are scouting around looking for someone to transport your beloved pet look no further!

We used this service to bring our rescue from Spain to England and could not have been more happy with the care Jackson received.He arrived so calm and relaxed which made his transition to life in England so much easier.The van is amazing, 5 star travel for your furry friend.

The service you will receive is second to none and i would happily and highly recommend Becky and Mark.

Thank you again for the care and compassion you have shown to mine and others furry companions.
