Re: Calling Ellen

Hi,

It's been a while since I did it and things have changed. I may check with friends in the US who are moving here in September and bringing their cat to see exactly what they're doing now.  It's a lot easier than it used to be, depending on your country. It's easy for anyone in the EU to bring a dog or cat into the UK now, and it's a lot simpler from the US than I when did it. Right now, the US is included in a list of non-EU countries considered low risk for bringing rabies into the UK, so they have different rules than higher risk countries. To bring in a cat or dog without a quarantine, you need an EU vet certificate, or, if you're in the one those other approved countries, an official veterinary certificate from that country. The animals must be microchipped (and it has to be a certain type of compatible microchips to what they can read at the airports etc.) and have proof of rabies vaccinations etc.  There also are certain approved routes and companies etc. for bringing a pet into the country.

If his country isn't in the EU or on that list, you may still have to go through the quarantine procedure. Where is this person? I note that Israel isn't on the list yet.  :(

The information in the above websites is from April 2013, so it's pretty recent.
