Traveling from the EU or PET listed country to the UK
Though guidelines differ between countries, any animal traveling from the EU or one of the PETS listed countries wishing to enter the UK must ensure they do not travel for the 21 days after their first rabies vaccination.
Traveling from not on PET list country to the UK
If you are traveling from a country that does not appear on the PETS list, they must also pass a blood test carried out by an EU approved lab every 30 days after vaccination and wait 3 months from the date the blood was taken before attempting to re-enter the UK.
Rules for working dogs
All working dog including guide dogs and hearing dogs are eligible for the scheme and, though standard pets are required to travel in the hold, working dogs are permitted to travel with their owners on specified routes.
nsure your pet passport is up to date before travel. Any discrepancies on your return may result in your pet being taken into quarantine or even sent back to the country you have just left.
