What this sheet is for

Show for every animal you moved where it came from, how it travelled, what paperwork you saw and who took it at the other end.

Who it is for

Pet taxi drivers, animal couriers, rescue transport volunteers and vets or kennels running their own collections.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the date, driver, vehicle and phone before leaving.
  2. Work through the pre-departure checks and tick each one.
  3. Log each animal as it is loaded: time, from, to, how it was restrained and what paperwork was seen.
  4. Have the person receiving the animal sign the row.
  5. Note anything that went wrong and whether the vehicle was cleaned after the run.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: One vehicle, one day — the checks before loading, then every pick-up and drop-off with restraint, papers seen and who signed.

Check the rules where you are. What paperwork an animal travels with and how it is restrained depend on where you are, the species and the journey — check the rules where you are and your insurer's conditions. The columns record what you actually did.

Write-on lines: Date · Driver · Vehicle & reg. · Phone on the run

Before the first pick-up — tick each once checked

  • Crates and restraints clean, secured, right size
  • Ventilation or climate control working
  • Water, bowls, towels, spare lead, cleaning kit
  • Every owner's and destination's phone on the sheet
  • Owners' feeding or medication notes collected
  • Route and timings set so no animal waits in the van

Run — one row per animal, in order

Table, 7 rows: Pick-up · Animal & owner · From · To · Restraint · Papers · Drop-off · Signed for by

Write-on lines: Incidents, sickness, soiling, delays · Vehicle cleaned after run · Signed

Questions

Why does the sheet not say what documents an animal needs to travel with?

Because that depends on the species, the journey and the rules where you are, and it changes. The papers column is for recording what you checked; what you have to check is yours to find out.

What about temperature in the vehicle?

The checklist asks whether ventilation or climate control was working. What is safe for a given animal on a given day is your judgement and your insurer's conditions, not a figure this sheet can print.
