Updated: Added link to the current 'Taking your pet abroad' information.
Although this leaflet remains a useful overview of the pet travel arrangements, you should read taking your pet abroad for up-to-date advice.
This leaflet explains the rules for bringing your pet dog, cat or ferret into the UK after 1 January 2012.
Please note that all procedures, including administration of tapeworm treatment, must be carried out by a registered vet and recorded in the pet passport or third country health certificate.
