European Regulation 998/2003 took effect on 3 July 2004. It sets out
the animal health requirements for the movement of pet animals
travelling between European Union (EU) countries and into the EU
from other countries.
The
Regulation covers the requirements for the movement of pet dogs,
cats, ferrets, domestic rabbits and rodents (including guinea pigs,
hamsters, mice, rats, gerbils and chinchillas). It also covers birds
(except certain poultry), ornamental tropical fish, invertebrates
(except bees and crustaceans), amphibians and reptiles.
The
UK is continuing to use the name "Pet Travel Scheme"
(PETS). The PETS scheme began on 28 February 2000, and allows pet
dogs and cats from certain countries to enter the UK without
quarantine as long as they meet certain rules.
The
main changes for dogs and cats entering the UK is that the PETS
certificate, the tick and tapeworm certificate and the declaration
of residence have been replaced by an EU pet passport. Only
dogs, cats and ferrets require a passport.
