What are the Quarantine regulations for animals entering the UK?
The UK is rabies-free and because of the possibility of animals carrying diseases, there are strict rules regarding pets brought into the UK. Animals brought in must either enter under the rules of the Pet Travel Scheme or the new EU pet passport, or meet the UK’s quarantine regulations. The Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) allows cats and dogs from a number of countries to enter the UK without going into quarantine, as long as they meet certain conditions. Regulations on how pets qualify for the scheme vary from country to country. Information on PETS, the EU pet passport and quarantine regulations can be found on the Bringing pets into Britain website.
