Naar Groot-Brittannië met uw huisdier

Lieftallige viervoeters meenemen

Honden, katten en fretten uit sommige landen kunnen via geselecteerde havens zonder quarantaine Groot-Brittannië binnen komen via het Pets Travel Scheme, mits ze aan de voorwaarden voldoen.

Animals other than those identified will have to be quarantined for six months at approved premises. There are no exceptions and any illegally imported animal is liable to be destroyed. This regulation is also in effect for the Channel Islands.

Work is continuing on an assessment of the risks if pets from other parts of the world are exempted from quarantine, and an announcement will be made once this work has been completed.
