Planning for travel abroad
 Pet passports were initially developed to enable animals to travel to and from the continent.
Over the last 10 years more and more countries now qualify for the pet passport.
This means that it is ever easier to take your pet on holiday with you, should you choose to do so.
It is also of use if you are working for a period of time overseas.
From 1 January 2012 all pet dogs, cats and ferrets can enter or re-enter the UK from any country in the world without quarantine provided they meet the rules of the scheme, which will be different depending on the country the pet is coming from.
If you are travelling to the UK from EU and listed non-EU countries there are several steps you need to undertake. You must have your pet microchipped and vaccinated against rabies. The length of the waiting period before entry to the UK is 21 days after the first vaccination date. You must then get your pet travel documentation and tapeworm treatment.
Entering the UK from unlisted non-EU countries will also mean you need a blood test.
