Immigrating Pets

A brown dog

The UK operates a Pet Passport Scheme Service, under which pets from specific countries are allowed to enter the country without a quarantine period (provided they meet specified hygiene requirements).

The Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is a system that allows pet dogs, cats and ferrets from certain countries to enter the UK without quarantine as long as they meet the rules.

It also means that people in the UK can take their dogs, cats and ferrets to other European Union (EU) countries, and return with them to the UK. They can also, having taken their dogs, cats and ferrets to certain non-EU countries, bring them back to the UK without the need for quarantine.

The rules are to keep the UK free from rabies and certain other diseases.
