United Kingdom

The introduction of the PETS travel scheme has made it a lot cheaper to take your pet with you to the UK. However, it is necessary to have a microchip inserted, Rabies vaccinations and then a blood test to check that the vaccinations have worked. There is then a 6 month wait period before entry to the UK. You should allow 7-8 months for the whole process. If you would like more information or a fact sheet please give us a call.

If you are travelling to another country apart from the UK or Australia then the New Zealand Biosecurity site has lots of information about specific requirements. Their website for leaving New Zealand is: http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/going/animals

Requirements vary but destination countries often require Rabies vaccinations and microchipping.
