Pet Travel Scheme - for pets entering the UK before January 2012
In order to comply with UK PETS measures, pets must:
> Have proof that dog is a recognized assistance dog
Identification card supplied by the organization which trained the dog.
> Be fitted with a microchip
Before any of the other procedures for PETS are carried out, pet must be fitted with a microchip so that it can be properly identified.
> Be vaccinated
After the microchip has been fitted pet must be vaccinated against rabies. There is no exemption to this requirement, even if pet has a current rabies vaccination
> Be blood tested
After pet has been vaccinated, it must be blood tested to make sure that the vaccine has given it a satisfactory level of protection against rabies. All vaccination and blood testing sections (on Pet Passport) must be signed and stamped by an Official Veterinarian (OV). The pet veterinarian will be able to advice on this.
> Be treated against ticks and a tapeworm
Pet must be treated against ticks and tapeworms not less than 24 hours and not more than 48 hours before it is checked in with an approved transport company for its journey into the UK.
> Have travel documents
For animals being prepared in an EU country, you should get an EU pet passport. If you are preparing your animal in a non-EU listed country you will need to obtain an official third country veterinary certificate although note that Croatia, Gibraltar, Norway, San Marino and Switzerland are also issuing passports. This must show that your pet has been microchipped, vaccinated against rabies and satisfactorily blood tested.
• It is recommended that passenger provides, if possible 48 hours in advance, documents to the PRM Assistance Provider at arrival airport.
