I'm Claire. This Is What 12 Years of Transporting Pets Taught Me.
Pets2Places Products exists for one reason. To make travelling with your pet genuinely safe, with evidence behind every decision.
The Story
For 12 years I've been transporting pets for a living. Over 10,000 of them, of every breed, size and coat, all over the UK.
I built the world's first pet taxi franchise. I mention that not to sell taxis, but because it's where the expertise comes from. Every single day, in every kind of car, with every kind of pet.
The lightbulb moment came while I was sat outside the vets. A car pulled up, the driver got out, and on her lap was a chihuahua. She'd driven there like that. It wasn't carelessness. She simply didn't know.
And then there were the harnesses. Fitting them every day, watching how slow and fiddly and poorly designed most of them are, I knew exactly what needed to change. Something faster to fit, easier to adjust, and actually engineered for safety instead of just walking control. That's what I set out to build.
What This Is Really About
This isn't really about selling a product. It's about shifting how people think about travelling with their pets, the way attitudes to seatbelts shifted a generation ago.
Buy it, or don't. But at least change how you think about it. That's the whole point.
I'm everyday person, working-class, the same in every room I walk into. I'd like this business to feel like that too: kind, caring, honest, and without pretence.
The Team Behind It
On paper, the business is essentially just me. In practice, the product is a collective effort, and that matters because it means this isn't just me saying it.
- Inond, designing the product alongside me with my input on every detail
- The Cranfield Impact Centre, carrying out the crash testing
- The National Transport Design Centre at Coventry University, consulting on the design
- Rescue centres partnering with us, so donated products can help other pets.
