Travel Not Just For A-List Pooches, Daaarling!

Written by Amie

Are you looking to travel and take your beloved pet with you? Whether you’re transporting your pampered Pomeranian who has colour coordinated apparel that would make Paris Hilton green with envy, or your Staffordshire Bull Terrier who could make the scariest thug quiver like Evander Holyfield, it’s always best to keep up to date with the rules and regulations that you need to follow.

pooch-in-a-bagThe Pet Travel Scheme is a system that allows pet owners in the UK to take their dogs, cats, ferrets and other small animals to other European Union (EU) countries without the need for quarantine (which can be a distressing process for both animal and owner!).

This also means that people from certain countries outside of the UK can bring their pets to the UK without the need for quarantine. So less stress for you and fluffy!

However, in order for this to happen certain rules must be adhered to. The UK does not permit the import of pets that have not been vaccinated against rabies.

These rules are set in place to keep the UK and EU countries free from rabies and other diseases. So don’t forget your Rodolfo like Polly! Make sure you plan ahead and take your companion(s) with you.
