British Airways is part of the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs' (DEFRA) Pet Travel Scheme (PETS), commonly known as the Pet's Passport, and we can now transport your pet from select cities.
PETS allows cats and dogs from certain countries to enter the UK without the need to go through the usual 6 months quarantine, as long as they meet certain conditions. It also allows people in the UK to take their pet cats and dogs away to these countries and bring them back with no quarantine restrictions, again as long as certain conditions are met.
This information has been created to provide pet owners with a guide as to how they may prepare their pet for air travel and take advantage of the PETS scheme with British Airways.
If you require any further information on PETS you can either contact your government-authorised Veterinary Surgeon (vet) or refer to the list of useful contacts below.
