Bringing pets into the UK
after 1 January 2012
From 1 January 2012, the rules for bringing your pet dog, cat or
ferret into the UK will change.
Until then, the existing rules continue to apply for pets coming into the UK,
see www.defra.gov.uk/pets
Don’t delay – find out the rules in plenty of time before you travel.
If you wish to return to the UK with your pet after a trip abroad, or intend to bring your
pet into the UK for the first time, you need to be aware of the changes to the UK pet
entry rules that take effect on 1 January 2012.
You are responsible for ensuring your pet meets all the rules for
entering the UK.
Make sure you have had the procedures carried out in the correct order and your pet’s
documentation is correctly completed. If you do not, your pet may not be able to enter
the country or may have to be licensed into quarantine on arrival. This will mean delay
and will cost you money.
Rules depend on which country you are travelling into the UK from:
• EU member states – see Part A
• Approved non-EU countries – listed overleaf but please check
www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-pets/pets/travel/pets/countries/noneu-countries/
for latest details – see Part A
• Non-approved countries (not in EU or not listed overleaf) – see Part B.
