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 qualifying countries, bring them back without the need for quarantine.

Further information about the changes is available from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Website. (DEFRA).
