UK Pet Travel Scheme

The UK Pet Travel Scheme allows pet owners to travel internationally with their cats, dogs, and ferrets without lengthy quarantine, provided specific health and identification requirements are met. Pets must be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and hold an official pet passport or third-country official veterinary certificate. These documents confirm the pet’s rabies vaccination status and enable smooth entry into the UK. The scheme aims to facilitate safe, efficient international pet travel while maintaining high health standards, preventing disease spread, and ensuring pets’ welfare.
