Therefore it has to go through cargo. So far, all cargo companies I contacted require to book the transport with a professional pet transporter (looking more thoroughly I found more than 2, hopefully I will end up finding one with a reasonable quote).
Good luck with the move! We brought two dogs from the UK at the start of 2018, and I seem to remember there needing to be an official pet transporter company, we couldn't do it as individuals.
Worth saying there's nothing to worry about with the actual transport, though. Our two dogs were absolutely unfazed when they reached the other end - one just seemed to have mild jet lag as he only perked up about 2 days into quarantine, he just wanted to snooze at first!
