Since March 2000 dogs and cats fulfilling the requirements of the Pet Travel Scheme can travel to European destinations and return to the U.K. without having to spend six months in quarantine. Pets must be microchipped to identify them and also be vaccinated against rabies. However, you need to allow at least 7 months from the date of your pet’s initial rabies vaccination before he or she can re-enter the U.K. under the scheme; so now is the time to act for next Summer! Further information can be obtained either from the surgery or on the PETS Helpline on 0870 241 1710 between 0830 and 1700hrs (UK time) from Monday to Friday, except Wednesdays when lines open at 1000hrs.
