The PETS certificate

To get your pet into the UK (or back into the UK) you will need an official PETS certificate. This will be issued to you by a vet authorised by the UK Government or by the Government of one of the qualifying countries. The transport company staff who will check your pet will need to see this certificate so make sure it is kept safe.
The certificate will show that your pet:
Is identified by its microchip number
Has a current vaccination against rabies
Had a blood test showing satisfactory protection against rabies
If your pet does not meet these conditions, it will not get a PETS certificate.
The certificate will not be valid until
The scheme is in operation and
six months has elapsed after the date of the blood sample which gave a successful test result (this does not apply to pets resident in the UK that have had the blood sample taken before 28 February 2000)
Certificates issued in other countries taking part in the PETS pilot scheme
A government-authorised vet in that country will issue the certificate. 'Maff' have asked all the other countries taking part in the PETS pilot scheme to arrange for this certificate to be available from vets.
The treatment must be carried out not less than 24 hours and not more than 48 hours before you embark for the UK
