Advice on Moving Internationally to the UK?

Hey, we’ll be moving to Harrogate in June of next year, leaving from the US (East Coast). We have a Yorkie under 4lbs. Such a tiny dog, and of course we wish we could just take her in a small carrier with us directly there, but we know that’s not possible.

In addition to ensuring all vaccinations, health, vet approval, we’re weighing all of our travel options.

(EDIT- We were considering taking the channel tunnel from France until we found out about the post-Brexit changes. It sounds like this is no longer an option) plus, that would be a long drive.

We’re able to hire services, but I’m just looking for the best options, and I want to understand what they actually provide.

My main concern is planning for the unknown, delays, etc. if we did just put her in cargo. She’s a very calm dog, but I’m worried about her developing anxiety through this.

Has anyone done a similar move that can offer any advice or peace of mind?

Does anyone have any success stories with using a high quality service to facilitate the process and make this as smooth as possible?
