Pet Passport Scheme

Changes to the Pet Passport Scheme have been finalised and from the 1st

January 2012 pets can travel 3 weeks after their rabies vaccination so no

longer the up to 8 month delay we had before. 


The other changes concern the tick and flea treatment which is

no longer required and the worming treatment which they have just confirmed

is still a requirement and will still involve a trip to the vets, however,

this is only needed for dogs and can now be done anytime between 1 and 5

days before you travel.  Check out the official UK government website for

the full story
