The Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is the system that allows pet animals from certain
countries to enter the UK
without quarantine as long as they meet
the rules. It also means that people in the UK can, having taken their pets to
these countries, bring them back without the need for quarantine.
PETS was introduced for dogs and cats travelling from certain European countries
on 28 February 2000. The Scheme has been enlarged and amended a number of times
since its inception.
