Cities and rural areas of the UK are pet friendly with plenty of parks, cafes and pubs accepting your pet during your visit. The problem with international pet travel is it’s guidelines and vaccinations vary by country, you will need to follow the correct process for your pet to arrive in the UK.

Listed below are some of the main guidelines that must be followed before entering the UK with your pet.
