Pet friendly summer holidays across Europe

The Pet Travel Scheme, operated by DEFRA, means that UK residents can now take their pets on holiday to other European Union countries, and return to the UK without the need for quarantine. Holidaymakers with pets can now visit a vast number of destinations across Europe, as long as they use a route (ferry crossing/rail terminal/airport) and transport company approved by DEFRA.
