JCS LivestockPet Travel Scheme FAQs
“My cat never leaves the house. Does it still need to have the rabies vaccination and blood test?”
Yes
“I treat my pet regularly for ticks and tapeworms- must I treat my pet again prior to the flight to the UK?”
Yes
“What happens if my pet misses the flight for which it was treated with ticks and tapeworm due to technical problems with the flight?”
If this happens then your pet will need to stay in isolation at the airport, with no contact with any other animals. The airline or the shipping company responsible for this isolated boarding will need to write a letter to the effect, so that essentially the treatment will remain valid. If there are no facilities at the airport or you would rather your pet not stay at the airport then it will need re-treating for ticks and tapeworms. This should not be harmful to your pet.
