About Us
Welcome to our website. Pets A2B started in 2020 but both Gary and Iain had already built up many years of experience working with pets prior to this. The following page details some information about who we are and how Pets A2B came about.
The Pets A2B Story
Gary and Iain first met back at the end of 2017. Gary was running Northampton Dog Walker and Iain was thinking of starting a dog walking business in Bedford. Gary built a website for Iain and they stayed in touch.
In March 2020 the UK entered lockdown due to Covid19. Both Gary and Iain naturally noticed the demand for dog walking and pet sitting dropped alarmingly. It was at this time that the idea of focusing on pet transport started.
Noticing a healthy demand for pet transport, Gary obtained his Type 1 Animal Transport Licence from DEFRA and began to optimise his Northampton Dog Walker website for pet transport search terms.
Things went very well and in just two months requests were coming in from members of the public, dog charities and dog breeders. In July 2020 Gary and Iain both decided to focus more on pet transport and we agreed we should start a new business name clearly aimed at pet transport. Gary purchased the PetsA2B domain name and Iain applied for his Type 1 Animal Transport Licence.
Later in 2020 Iain obtained his Type 2 from DEFRA which means we are now able to offer road transport journeys in excess of 8 hours, including international work.
We will update this page as and when our story develops. Thanks for reading
