pet passports and animal health
|
The Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) allows pet dogs, cats and ferrets from certain countries to enter the UK without quarantine as long as they meet the rules. It also means that people from the UK can take their dogs, cats and ferrets to other European Union (EU) and some non-EU countries, and return with them to the UK without the need for quarantine. |
The rules changed on 1 January 2012, reducing the waiting time and removing the need for a blood test, making it a quicker and simpler procedure.
You can download a guide to the pet passport procedure by Dr Diana James, a British vet living in France.
If for any reason your animal doesn't qualify for PETS, we can offer a full quarantine service.
