If you are going abroad and wish to take your pet cat or dog with you, the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) could allow you to avoid long quarantine periods. Working guide and hearing dogs may also travel on the scheme. Countries participating in PETS include parts of Europe, Bahrain, the USA, Canada and certain other long haul destinations. As more countries join the scheme, check the current position with the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). To be eligible, your cat or dog must: - meet the requirements of the scheme
- travel via certain designated sea, air and rail routes
Use the contacts below for details. You can get more advice about the PETS scheme and quarantine from the address and helpline details below. Pet Travel Scheme Helpline
