Travelling Abroad With Pets

The Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) allows dogs to travel to selected countries without quarantine, as long as certain conditions are met. These conditions include the need to book your trip with an approved transport company, using an approved route, and fulfilling certain health related criteria.

The list of approved countries, companies and routes is updated quite frequently, so always contact DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) www.defra.gov.uk, (PETS Helpline: 0870 241 1710) for the latest information before you leave.

You need to prepare at least seven to eight months before you travel. To qualify for the scheme, your pet must comply with the following conditions, in the order shown:

Your dog will need to be treated with Praziquantel for tapeworm and a tick treatment containing Fiprinol 24-48 hours before you check in with the approved transport company. You will need to obtain an Official Certificate from the vet to show this treatment has been carried out and the certificate will need to show:

Your dog's micro-chip number

The date and time of treatment

The products used

The vet's signature and stamp This procedure must be carried out every time you bring your pet back into the UK.

You must complete a Declaration of Residency form to declare that you have not taken your pet outside the PETS approved countries in the six months prior to re-entering the UK. Declaration of Residency can be completed when you present your pet for checking in, but it's easier to get a copy in advance by ringing the PETS Helpline.

You will need to ensure your pet conforms to the 'Six Month Rule,' which states pets cannot enter the UK until at least six calendar months after the date your vet last took a blood sample. This would effectively give enough time for the clinical signs of rabies to appear if your pet had been infected either before or at the time of vaccination. Note that as long as your pet has a rabies vaccination booster on time, an additional blood test and six month wait won't be necessary.

You cannot bring a pet into the UK under the Pet Travel Scheme from a private boat or plane.

When you return to the UK from a long haul destination, you will need to ensure a government official in the country you are leaving from fixes a seal to the carrier your dog is travelling in. The official will then need to write the number of the seal onto the tick and tapeworm certificate if you are bringing your pet into the UK.
