The Pet Travel Scheme


Please take your pet to the airport and then return to the car park for onward transfer. Please note that none of the car operators will transfer pets. The following is a quick summary of the scheme and the countries which the UK currently allow access. Countries are continually being added and deleted and the following web site www.defra.gov.uk/ani malh/quarantine/index.htm and your vet should always be consulted.

Please note the UK’s impending departure from the European Union

will change a lot of the foregoing and the Defra web site should be checked for new requirements.

Briefly the current procedure is as follows and must be undertaken in this order

  • Have your pet microchipped by a vet for identification purposes.
  • Rabies vaccination. This must be done even if your pet has already been vaccinated.
  • A blood test to ensure the rabies vaccine has given your pet sufficient protection.

After this process has been undertaken and the vet has issued the necessary documentation.

Your pet effectively is issued with a EU pet passport showing the microchip identification number, which can be compared when your pet is travelling together with the dates of the vaccine and blood test. Before you re-enter the UK your pet needs to be treated against ticks and tapeworm. This treatment needs to be given within a time frame of between 60 hours before your return to this country. In essence you need to plan your return to this country and organise a visit to a vet abroad to coincide with this time frame. As the scheme is becoming more popular more vets abroad are offering this service.

You will need to travel by an approved transport company, which can be a shipping line or airline company. Each airport or shipping line have their own special areas to which your pet needs to be taken. You will need to contact these centres beforehand.
