7 Tips when Moving Pets overseas from UK

 

The UK, with a population of 66 million, has more than one pet in every other home across the nation.

Choosing a pet is like choosing a family member, so it's important to plan a stress-free relocation for your furry friend. When moving from the UK, follow these 7 tips to ensure a successful move for your pet:-

1.      Pet Microchip

 A pet microchip is the only real proof of ID that your pet has. Other than being very safe, implanting the chip itself is painless and takes a few seconds. Microchips are administered and directly supervised by vets.

Most countries require pet relocation services to have mandatory ISO-certified microchips for international Removal Services for pet relocation. Agarwal Packers and Movers are a trusted ISO-acclaimed packing and moving company that provides expertise.

 

2.      Understanding Rabies Country classification

There is a classification of countries in three categories to distinguish the preparedness and the evident cases of rabies outbreaks in each nation.

One has to pay special attention, especially when moving from a high-risk country to a rabies-free country, which can be complicated. Simplify your pet’s relocation process and find the best removalist company to help you.

 

3.      Get an Accredited Rabies titre test (RFFIT)

Many countries require your pet’s rabies vaccination to be at least 30 days old but less than one year old at the time of travel. A Rabies Tip Test (RFEIT) or Rabies Neutralizing Antibody Test (RNAT) is a mandatory process for taking your pet to any rabies-free country. 

If you are planning to move with your pet and want to avoid the risk of being separated from them on medical grounds, it is important to hire a qualified removal company UK to ensure a safe and secure move for pets. 

 

4.      Furnish Records of Pet Vaccinations

Assuring your pet's health is very crucial. Due to the risk of introducing diseases or parasites, entry of ill pets is prohibited while travelling to another country. 

A furnished record of your pet’s vaccination is the only accepted proof of immunity and protection your pet has. There are core vaccines that are specific to animal species. For dogs, DHLPP vaccination is mandatory during international travel, and FVRCP vaccines for cats.

 

5.      Health certificate, pet passport and import permit

The crucial part is that the conclusive report must be strictly in a prescribed format. You will be required to produce an acknowledgement of import certificate, health certificate, and pet passport. Without this, your pet will not be refused entry into other countries.

The documents have to be error-free to avoid inordinate delays in the relocation process. Therefore, it is best to hire a reputed pet relocation services company to help you with this paperwork.

 

6.      Get the right Crate with Crate Training

When you transport your pet to a different country, he or she needs to travel in an IATA-compliant crate. Ensuring your pet's comfort and safety during air or sea travel is crucial. 

Choosing the right size crate is essential as it provides adequate space for your pet to move around while also allowing for proper ventilation. Professional advice is recommended to determine the appropriate size of the crate for your pet's size. 

 

7.      Chose Pet-friendly Airlines

When moving Interstate in UK, you would want to travel with an airline that has pet-friendly policies to safeguard the well-being of pets on flights. 

You can create a list of pet-friendly airlines, but if you find it confusing, you can always seek help from pet removalist service providers to shortlist the best options when it comes to your furry companion.

 

Conclusion:-

When it’s your companion cat, dog, rabbit, hamster, turtle, bird or even gecko, you would want to arrive in the city overseas to be more exciting and adventurous than a stressful compromise.
