The PETS scheme
The scheme is designed to halt the spread of rabies and other diseases while still allowing pets to travel.
The UK has been free of rabies for many years, but in some other countries there is still a risk of the disease to mammals. All rabies-susceptible animals entering the UK are required to spend six months in quarantine, unless they arrive under and comply with all the conditions of PETS.
Countries participating in PETS include most parts of Europe and many non-European destinations. Check the current position, and the full procedure for preparing your pet, with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
To be eligible, your cat, dog or ferret must:
be fitted with a microchip
be vaccinated against rabies
wait 21 days from the date of their first rabies vaccination before travelling to another Eurpean Community country
not have visited any non-approved countries or territories for at least six months before they enter or re-enter the UK
Cats and dogs must also:
be blood tested with a satisfactory result by a European Union approved laboratory
wait six calendar months from the date the satisfactory blood sample was taken before re-entering the UK
You must also ensure that your pet:
is issued with a pet passport by their vet
is treated by a vet for tapeworm and ticks, not less than 24 hours and not more than 48 hours before checking in with a PETS-approved carrier for the journey back to the UK
travels into the UK on a PETS-approved sea, air or rail route
In other words if you start the injection now and travel abroad you can't bring your pet back into the UK until October
Many thanks to him
