If you want to transport your pet to the United Kingdom (UK) or Ireland following your relocation, you are in the right place.<\/p>\n
Bringing pets to the UK and Ireland requires some important considerations in terms of travel arrangements, vaccinations, documentation and more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let’s start by saying that animals arriving here by plane cannot be brought on board with passengers<\/strong>; they must be manifested on board as cargo<\/strong>, and therefore travel in the hold dedicated to them.<\/p>\n There has been no quarantine on arrival for more than 15 years now<\/strong>. Be wary of fake news you find on the web!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Travel veterinary requirements are quite simple and require approximately 4 weeks of preparation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Your dog or cat will first need a microchip<\/strong>, a rabies vaccination<\/strong> and at least 21 days waiting period after the rabies vaccination<\/strong>. These are the minimum requirements to start planning your trip.<\/p>\n The final steps will be defined when the departure date is confirmed.<\/p>\n We at AM Pet Movers advise those who need to move their dog or cat to the United Kingdom or Ireland to start taking the first steps at least 6 weeks before the desired departure date<\/strong>. This way we will have plenty of time to check the documentation you have and indicate any gaps that need to be filled.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n No longer being a member country of the EU, the United Kingdom has effectively become a third country<\/strong>. This means that upon departure there will be export customs procedures<\/strong>, and upon arrival there will be import customs procedures.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Definitely yes. As the UK is now a third country, pet transportation now follows the 5-day rule. That is, if a dog or cat does not travel within 5 days before or after the owner’s trip, its move is classified as “commercial”<\/strong>. This involves changes to the UK entry requirements, and the timeline for obtaining them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The pet transport procedures to UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4551,"parent":5671,"menu_order":29,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5633","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhat are the first steps?<\/h2>\n
