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
