Dear PetRelocation,
Is there any need to put my dog in quarantine if I come from Romania to the UK? Do I need to test my dog for rabies 6 months before moving to UK? If I move to UK in 4 weeks' time, will I be able to take my dog with me right away?
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Best regards,
Diana
Hi Diana,
Thanks for your question. Since Romania is an EU country, your dog will not have to go to quarantine if you meet the requirements of the Pet Travel Scheme. Find out more here.
You will need either an EU Pet Passport or an official vet health certificate, which prove that your dog has been microchipped and is up to date on the rabies vaccine. Dogs also need to be treated against tapeworm.
You may or may not be able to travel in a month -- it depends on your dog's status regarding the above regulations. Please contact us if you have more questions or if you'd like some help arranging your move. Good luck with everything!
