P.E.T.S Passport Scheme 

The P.E.T.S Passport scheme was introduced in October 2000, to allow easier movement of pets between the UK and other countries. Essentially it has allowed pets from qualifying countries** to enter the UK without having to spend 6 months in UK quarantine kennels…but ONLY if they have fulfilled certain criteria. It is this criteria that often confuses people and which can take up to 7 months to complete. Full details of the scheme are available on the DEFRA website: http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/pets/procedures/owners.htm

How Can We Help?

If you are having to relocate back to the UK unexpectedly you may not have had time to follow all the procedures to enable your pet to travel with you. Acorn Kennels and Cattery can provide long-term boarding for your pet and complete the stages of the P.E.T.S Passport Scheme right up until the day they leave France. We can also help to arrange transportation of your pet if necessary.
