This is a rough guide to the Pet Passport Scheme. The rules vary according to the countries involved so it always best to contact the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (see below) to obtain an appropriate fact sheet. The Rules The Pet Passport Scheme applies only to pet cats, ferrets and dogs including guide dogs and hearing dogs. It allows them to re-enter the UK from designated countries as long as they meet certain rules. Travel between UK and EU countried or listed non EU countries:
Travel from unlisted non-EU country to the UK: A blood test after the rabies vaccination is still required and a 3 month wait before re-entry, from the time of the blood test, applies. Individual requirements do vary so please contact DEFRA for up to date advice.
Pets traveling within the British Isles Pets resident anywhere in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland, or which have first entered England under PETS, can travel freely between these countries without the need for any documentation. Further Information Please note that the above is intended as a guide, and clients must check with DEFRA at www.defra.gov.uk before travelling aborad that they are familiar with any changes in regulation that may occur.
