Hey Fatcat,
You should check out the DEFRA website on importing dogs. They have to go by recognized carriers on recognized routes. I believe Air Canada, Britisth Airways and Thomas Cook are recognized but they have to go from certain airports. I have also been trying to research this here is a link to DEFRA http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-pet...s-longhaul.htm Good luck |

Re: transporting dogs back from Canada to UK
are you not planning on travelling with them?
Why don't you contact your local Canadian Food Inspection Agency vet? I'm taking my dogs with me and I've been plodding through the process on my own, but since someone put me on to my CFIA vet she has been extremely helpful. Jo (The countdown is on! 86 days.....):eek: |

We brought our dog back from Canada in October 2010 and we didn't go through a pet travel company, we booked her flight ourselves with Air Canada. The paperwork is a bit of a pain to get right because the canadian vet we used wasn't familiar with exporting pets back to the UK. Defra are really helpful and also I phoned the animal reception at Heathrow Airport who let me email all the forms through to them before she travelled just to confirm that they were correct. We didn't have any problems but if you do organise it yourself be really careful to get the paperwork filled out correctly.
Anything that helps settle my mind is worth knowing :) |

Re: transporting dogs back from Canada to UK
ooh, quick question (to those who've brought dogs back to the UK) - what did you do about food? When I brought food to Canada I brought an open bag and they were a bit pissy with me but let me through. The smallest bag of my current dog food is 6lbs - that's a lot of my luggage allowance if I can bring an open bag and half that weight back.

I don't see why you can't bring a sealed bag in. I don't want to abruptly change my dogs diet (not recommended by dog experts and 2 of mine have dietary issues). I don't know that DEFRA would have knowledge either way but I will contact customs if noone else has any personal experience.
