Moving your pet from the US to the UK requires Advance planning of 4-6 months due to the UK's strict pet import rules. Your pet must be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and have an official USDA-endorsed health certificate. The UK no longer requires quarantine for pets arriving from the US provided all requirements are met.
