However, there are still strict import requirements that must be met:
* Microchipping: Your dog must be microchipped.
* Rabies Vaccination: Your dog must be vaccinated against rabies and have a valid rabies vaccination certificate.
* Blood Test: A blood test for rabies antibodies must be taken at least 30 days after the rabies vaccination and at least 120 days before your dog's arrival in the UK. The results must be sent to an approved laboratory in the UK for verification.
* Tapeworm Treatment: Your dog must be treated for tapeworm within 24 hours of arriving in the UK by an official veterinarian.
It is crucial to note that regulations can change, and it is always best to check the latest information on the UK government's website or consult with a qualified veterinarian for the most up-to-date guidance.
Important resources for you to check:
* UK Government's website: You can find detailed information on pet travel requirements at the website of the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA).
* Australian Government's website: You can find information on pet travel requirements on the website of the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (DAWE).
* Your veterinarian: Your veterinarian will be able to provide you with specific advice on the requirements for your dog's travel to the UK.
Remember: Failure to comply with the UK's pet import regulations can result in your dog being refused entry or even being quarantined. So, it's essential to plan ahead and ensure your dog meets all the necessary requirements.
