Travelling

For most family cats travelling can be a worrying and stressful experience. Most cats will feel frightened and even travelsick. When taking any pet on longer journeys it is important that you are properly prepared.

Until recently it was not possible to bring a pet into the UK without a 6 month quarantine period, so most owners left their pets at home when they went abroad. The introduction of the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) has changed all this. Now pets with the correct documentation can travel abroad on holiday with their owners. and come home again! If you are thinking of taking your pet abroad you must be aware of all the relevant rules and requirements and it can take months to plan adequately for a trip so start thinking now before it gets too late.
