As you may have already seen, I wrote a recent entry on how to take your dog to the UK . In my dog travel research, I learned what the PETS scheme requires new york boutique hotels for dogs coming into the UK and I also learned that the UK doesn t allow pets to travel in-cabin , even if they re small. With the exception of Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals, all animals must travel to the UK as cargo.
Now, if you, like me, have a panic attack at the very thought of your 12 lb dog traveling new york boutique hotels as cargo, you do have another option: travel to mainland Europe and then take a ferry or train into the UK. To do this, you ll need to:
2. Get your US vet to fill out paperwork for your first destination (the USDA will not stamp paperwork for more than one country, so you ll leave the US with paperwork for your first destination new york boutique hotels only and will get the required UK paperwork while in mainland Europe). Make sure your vet/you do some research new york boutique hotels on your first destination. While they overall have the same requirements, some of the details are different. For example: you may need to get the embassy to approve your arrival airport before you go.
NOTE: Not all approved routes allow walk-on passengers with pets. Sometimes you have to have a car (like on the approved new york boutique hotels ferry route from Amsterdam) or book a kennel onboard. You should double check the ferry or train s regulations before booking your ticket.
4. Schedule a vet appointment at your first destination. To go to the UK, you ll need to get two things in your first destination country. The first is a pet passport, which a European vet can issue to you (usually same-day). It will include your pet s microchip number, last rabies vaccine, etc. (so make sure you have all that info!) and will allow your pet to travel to any country in the EU. The second thing you ll need is the tapeworm treatment, which must be done between 1 and 5 days before you leave.
