and adopted a dog close by and not put your poor dog thru the stress. anne on Sep 18, 2008
Here are few tips since I help coordinate international pet travel at my office:
I know of many people who have used the services of Worldcare Pet Transport. They help out many people to get their pets from NYC to the UK. You will definitely pay a bit for services, but to many people the price is worth it.
As for quarantine, 30 days is true for Australia. UK no longer has quarantine, but they make you stay in the states after the rabies blood test for 6 months. (Same is true for Australia and practically any place that is an island because they can claim to be rabies free). The rule comes from the fact that it takes up to 6 months for symptoms of rabies to manifest in an infected dog.
Unfortunately, UK will not accept pets in cabin on flights. I have never heard of an airline that will for the trip. For people that are really freaked about the idea of sending a pet in cargo, I suggest looking into travel on the Queen Mary because they will accept pets and you can enjoy a nice trans-atlantic ride.
Travel is easy for some pets and tough for others, but if you know your pet (how he/she reacts in a carrier, especially), then you will know if you are in for a difficult time to travel with him/her. Talk to your veterinarian for suggestions. lizzjoy on Sep 17, 2008
