Hi everyone,

As from 1st January next year (2012) there will be new rules for bringing domestic pets (dogs, cats & ferrets) to the UK (& also to Ireland, Sweden & Finland). The rules will bring all 4 countries into line with the rest of the European Union & EEA i.e. you will need a "PETS" pet passport & the appropriate rabies vaccination but you will not need either of the 2 blood tests or the additional 6 month wait, assuming that you're traveling from the EU or from an EU approved country. More details can be downloaded here: http://www.defra.gov.uk/publications...o-uk110706.pdf

Regards, Baz.

Wow! That's a a HUGE change - only a microchip, vaccination, vet certificate and 21 day wait to enter the UK (from the USA and Canada also!)....it's really nice for traveling pet owners!

Oh, that's great! I hope other rabies-free countries switch to that scheme soon too.
