Please note that owners taking animals to the UK who wish to bring them back to Italy, must meet Italy s import requirements on their return. The PETS certificate does not replace Italy s existing import requirements. Two direct air routes from Italy have also been approved. The documentary and microchip checks will be carried out by the ferry companies, the airlines or the train operators, under UK government supervision. May accept pets with foot passengers, check with the company.
More flights are available from Europe and from certain other eligible countries.
Details on request from the Pet Travel Scheme Helpline. Please note that airlines usually require dogs or cats to travel in the aircraft s hold. The Embassy cannot arrange any exception to this. A pet should not be vaccinated until it is at least three months old. If an animal has already been vaccinated but not microchipped then the vet must insert a microchip and re-vaccinate in order to comply with the requirements.
