In view of the laws bringing animals to the UK from 1 January 2012, and the list of countries Israeli Knesset animals that come within their boundaries do not have to quarantine before streatham hill vets entering the borders of the United Kingdom, all we know is the most relevant directory exists on the network, bringing pets (cats, dogs and ferrets) from Israel Britain. however, of course we write our personal experience. brought a cat from Israel to London, El Al - Ben Gurion Airport to Heathrow. Although the process will be similar even if some of the details will be different, streatham hill vets of course we strongly recommend that you do not rely solely on this guide, but also check out for yourself what requirements your particular case. In addition, we are aware of the existence of companies that offer services bringing pets abroad and Britain in particular. Guide is for those who do not want to use the services of these companies.
Very early transition we knew we had to decide what to do with our cats. Call us briefly explained if we want to bring them with us to London, in addition to all the tests and vaccines, Peanut and Monkey will have to sit 6 months in quarantine at the airport. Closure for us so long was not an option and never intended to move the cats the suffering streatham hill vets that comes with such a blockade.
Time passed and in September 2011 was a surprising streatham hill vets announcement: Since January 2012 Israel joins the list of countries animals that come within their boundaries do not have to quarantine before entering the borders of the United Kingdom. After we recovered from the shock, we realized that if we want to take advantage of the change and bring our cats with us, we should start with research and preparation . various reasons, we decided to sadly leave the peanut country, but Monkey was designed to migrate with us.
The first step in the process was testing regulations. The site of the British equivalent of the Ministry of Agriculture (Defra - Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) streatham hill vets sets out the requirements of the office when it comes to bringing pets to the UK (from here on, "pets" refers to cats, dogs and ferrets only - you can get, of course, Even with - life, but various regulations which we have no experience with them). However, regulations which lists incomplete. What site did not elaborate, completed by the chief veterinarian office in Israel, we were asked to fill out forms and veterinarians who treated the cat. Microchip implantation - Before anything else, make sure his cheeks pet has a microchip with your information, preferably in English. If not, set an appointment with your vet transplant this chip. Vaccination against rabies - After the microchip implant, you should vaccinate your pet against rabies. Even if the animal has been vaccinated, British regulations require that it be insulated after installing the chip. You can perform streatham hill vets the installation of the chip and the vaccine at that time. Make sure your veterinarian approval for making vaccine also includes streatham hill vets details of the chip. One month after vaccination, conduct rabies antibody test. Test is a blood test that a veterinarian can do. The blood sample to send to the laboratory veterinarian veterinary services of the Ministry of Agriculture, Bet Dagan (only permit this laboratory acceptable to the Defra). If the positive test result (vaccine "caught" and rabies antibodies in the blood), have to wait for a period of at least three months before streatham hill vets the pet can enter the UK. In some cases the first vaccine not understand, then to vaccinate the animal again. In this case, the count is reset and wait for another month. Worming - Only dogs must worming before entering the UK. The worming should be done between 24 and 120 hours before the flight. Because that section worming are documents that must be filled for pet (see Section 4), is recommended in conjunction with the physical examination and completing the forms, in order to avoid the rattle and costs. Please note that you can not sign a vet for examination form before worming. Of course that if your pet is suffering from worms, it is recommended worming any case, even if it is not a dog. Documents - so that the pet can enter one EU country, it is necessary to have a "passport." The passport is a document of several pages, that a veterinarian animal and fill it. These documents play after having your hands all the details of the microchip, streatham hill vets rabies vaccination and antibody testing. Who fills them is the animal's regular veterinarian after a physical examination standard. Perform the test and fill out the forms no more than 10 days before the flight (eg, if the flight is in -15/9, you can perform the test from 5th / 9). The documents could have whatever Veterinary Services of the Ministry of Agriculture. We preferred to talk to them on the phone, to verify all information in our possession, and we wanted streatham hill vets to send us email form (unlike most government offices, veterinary streatham hill vets services have heard of the invention of the internet streatham hill vets and have no problems streatham hill vets with the delivery documents via email instead of fax). Make sure you get these two documents: Veterinary certificate for domestic dogs, cats and ferrets entering the European streatham hill vets community for non-commercial movements Statement Veterinarian export pet countries European Community (an aside: We did not get the second document, and We knew of its existence, which caused a great many mental anguish days before the flight) Directions - Defra UK allows streatham hill vets entry only to those areas of life that came with airlines confirmed on Route happy. As of writing a post, only companies that perform direct flights from Israel to the UK and are approved for flying streatham hill vets animals are to - on the British Airways. Possibility is always flying in existing companies stopover in Britain, but in our opinion this option is not recommended because it prolongs the duration of the flight, may cause bureaucratic difficulties and unnecessary suffering pet, the flight streatham hill vets is to begin with a traumatic experience for her. Attention approved route also includes streatham hill vets the ports of departure and landing, and these are not the same for all airlines.
Who ultimately gives the official stamp are flying pet veterinary services at the airport (03-9792240). Before reaching a
