I need help on what form's I need to take my cats back to the UK,the vets I have spoken to are no help.
So if anyone has done this or doing it please can you help.
Thank you

go to the top of the page and click on search then type in .....defra you will find lots of topics on it

Hi
Thank you.I have and I'm still not finding the right form.
I'm scared I will mess up .

everything you need is on here

http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/index.htm

type the word "form" and search in this forum only - there was a post about forms within the past month or two, I think. I and others posted a helpful site to download the forms without having to search around (I think the DEFRA site was hard to navigate to the particular forms).

Bump.

Bonny, did you find what you were looking for? There's another related thread (about certified vets) just come up that you might find helpful.

Hi Bonny. this is REALLY helpful. It's from a pet exporter that has put this on the uk-yankee forum.
I'm working on some Guidelines with some valuable information. It is only a draft and far from completion but its a start.

Thanks.
I will have a look at it

Hi Bonny,

We're taking our dog back to the UK in 6 weeks - this is how it's working for us......

Dog has rabies jab (by approved vet)
One month later he has a blood test
Have booked a carrier who will come to my door and take the dog - they arrange everything else this end
Have found a quarantine kennels near home - the carrier will arrange this for you if necessary
When the dog lands (in plane!), he is being collected by our quarantine kennels.

Dogs have to have 6 months elapse from the blood test until being 'released' in UK. They only have to spend time in quarantine in the UK if the full 6 months hasn't elapsed. So if you know you will be leaving in 6 months time then you can have the dog (or cat if the same rules) spend 4 - 5 months of it's quarantine at home with you and just 1 - 2 months in kennels in the UK.

Hope this makes sense.

Yes makes sense, but can I add 'he is already (or gets) micro-chipped' before 'dog has rabies jab', just for completeness/clarity. Ta G.

Hi Bonny,
Are you returning from Canada? Reason I ask is 'cos of the nova scotia bit. We're in Canada and may be able to help. Best regards anyhow.

Hi Sunshine Girl,
Yes I'm in Dartmouth NS.Help would be great my problem is still the form's I need to print off for the vet to fill in.
I have checked the DEFRA website but still can not find all the info I need.
I was told all I need is Official Veterinary Certificate but then someone said there was more paper work to be filled in.

Would like to thank everyone for helping me here.

Hi,
I though if you got it all done here there was no quarantine at all ??

bonnie I already gave you the forms on the other thread....here they are....http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/ncie/ir...at_ferret_.pdf


and btw the quarantine the other person is talking about is quarantine in your home not at a kennel
