Pet Travel Scheme E-mail

dog_insurance_photo.jpgThe Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is the system that 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 in the UK can take their dogs, cats and ferrets to other EU countries, and return with them to the UK. They can also, having taken their dogs, cats and ferrets to certain non-EU countries, bring them back to the UK without the need for quarantine.

EU Countries
To enter other EU countries from the UK your pet should be microchipped and vaccinated against rabies (although Sweden does not require this when a pet travels direct from the UK). You should then obtain an EU pet passport. This will allow your pet to enter most other EU countries. However, Malta and Cyprus have additional entry requirements, and to enter the Republic of Ireland other than direct from the UK, and to re-enter the UK, your pet must have a blood test. Your vet will advise you on the timing of this. This can be done before you leave the UK or while you are in another qualifying country. To enter Sweden your pet must also be treated for tapeworms using a product containing praziquantel no more than 10 days before entering that country although this treatment is not required for direct entry from the UK.

You should contact your local Animal Health Divisional Office, or the authorities (e.g. the Embassy) of the country you wish to enter, before you travel to check the requirements.

There are no requirements for pets travelling directly between the UK and Ireland.

For EU countries where more stringent entry requirements do not apply, the EU has introduced a wait of 21 days from the date of the first rabies vaccination before a pet can enter those EU countries. However, if the vaccine manufacturer’s data sheet requires more than one vaccination to complete the primary vaccination protocol, the 21 day wait applies from the date of the final vaccination of that protocol. Your vet will advise you further.

Booster vaccinations are valid for entry from the date given provided they are given on time (according to the instructions in the vaccine manufacturer’s data sheet where the previous vaccination was given).

Pet owners are advised to contact the authorities of the relevant EU country to confirm the appropriate timing of the rabies vaccination under their current import regulations.
