To avoid problems with your trip to the UK, you should plan and make
preparations for travelling with your pet well in advance
of your journey.
Make sure that you know the terms and conditions under which the transport
company will carry your pet, and that, where necessary, you have made
a booking or reservation for its travel. Tell them if your animal is a
guide or assistance dog so that special arrangements can be made.
| You are responsible for ensuring that your pet meets all the rules for entering the UK under the Pet Travel Scheme. Make sure that you have had the procedures carried out in the correct order and that your pet’s documentation is correctly completed. If you do not, your pet may not be able to enter the country or may have to be licensed into quarantine on arrival. This will mean delay and cost you money. |
