Extra Care for Delayed Pets at Animal Aircare Heathrow & Gatwick

1 Apr, 2025

At Animal Aircare, we understand that travel disruptions can be stressful for both pets and their owners. That’s why we go the extra mile to ensure that any pet offloaded from a flight due to cancellations or delays receives the highest level of care and attention while staying with us at Heathrow and Gatwick.

Comfort & Connection First

If a pet is delayed, we send a picture or video update to the owner or agent. This immediate reassurance lets them know their beloved companion is safe, happy, and in good hands.

Spacious & Cosy Accommodations

For pets who may be with us for an extended period (over 12 hours), we can provide a larger, more spacious kennel to ensure they have plenty of room to stretch out and relax. If the pet is travelling with a furry friend from the same family, we check with the owner to see if they’d like to share a kennel for extra comfort and companionship.

Playtime & Enrichment

Pets staying with us enjoy access to our secure outdoor runs, which are designed with their happiness in mind. These spaces include grass, toys, plants, and various enrichment activities to keep them engaged and entertained. Our experienced staff visits each pet multiple times per day for playtime, feeding, watering, or simply providing some much-needed cuddles.

A Calming Atmosphere

To create a soothing environment, classical music is played throughout the day, helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation. We also use a variety of enrichment techniques such as scatter food play, toy hiding, and Pet Remedy spray, a natural calming spray that helps reduce stress and anxiety. These methods keep pets mentally stimulated and comfortable during their stay.

At Animal Aircare, your pet’s well-being is our top priority. No matter the length of their stay, we are committed to providing a safe, loving, and engaging environment until they are reunited with their owner.

If you have any questions or need further information, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We’re here to ensure your pet’s journey is as smooth and stress-free as possible!
