Q: Is There A Quarantine For Dogs And Cats Arriving In England?
As long as your pet has fulfilled all of the import requirements, they will not need to go into quarantine. All vaccinations and quarantine requirements will be completed by Jetpets prior to your pets flight.
Q: Do I Need To Check That My Travel Crate Is Airline Compliant?
Yes, if you are using your own travel crate you need to check it is airline compliant. If your pet is travelling in a Jetpets travel crate you can be assured it is airline compliant and sized up perfectly for the comfort and safety of your pet.
Q: Why Do Pets Have To Be At The Airport 3 Hours Before Departure?
Like humans, pets are required to check in early for their flight too. Some airlines require pets to be checked in 3 hours before departure. Your Pet Travel Consultant will advise you on the specific check in time based on your pet’s travel itinerary.
Q: What Happens When My Pet Arrives At Its Destination?
Once the plane has landed, pets are always the first to be taken off the plane and into a secured and comfortable waiting area. Each arrival airport procedure is different so your Jetpets Pet Travel Consultant will have all of this outlined in the travel itinerary that is personalised for your pet.
Q: Do Dogs Need Passports In England?
To travel from Australia to the UK, your dog won’t need to have a pet passport. However, you will need to get an official veterinary certificate from an authorised vet, amongst other supporting documents. If you plan to travel to or within the EU after arriving in the UK, you will need to get a pet passport upon arrival.
