RE: OT - Flying pets to Ireland

Hi Jennie,   As you can see below Ireland has very strict quarantine laws
that require at least six months quarantine. Although I believe you can now
quarantine on your own premises, providing it meets with their specs. The
dept of agriculture will send a vet to inspect that you have meet their
requirements. On a side note I recently made inquires as to bringing a dog
in from Switzerland and was told my best option to avoid quarantine was to
avail of the pet passport scheme and go through England. There is at present
free movement of pets between England and Ireland. In fact a good percentage
at the larger shows here would be English. Tell your cousin to bring lot's
of warm clothes and rain gear.

Under the Importation of Dogs and Cats Order, 1929 - 1970, all dog and cats
from places abroad (other than Great Britain, the Channel Islands and the
Isle of Man) must undergo a period of at least six months detention in
approved quarantine premises on arrival here and be subject to one
anti-rabies vaccination during quarantine. There are no derogations from the
six-month quarantine period for any animal, regardless of the conditions
under which the animal has been kept. 
There is only one approved public quarantine premises and this is: 
Lissenhall Quarantine Kennels and Catteries,
Lissenhall, 
Swords, 
Co Dublin

 Hi Everyone-
 
 This is not Berner related...
 
 My cousin lives in Boston and is possibly moving to Ireland this year.
 She 
 has an indoor only cat and would like to know the restrictions (if any) on
 
 entering the country. Also, does anyone know if there are restrictions for
 
 her to return to the US and bring the cat back with her next year?  The
 cat 
 is an adult, indoor only and current on all vaccines (FVRCP  Rabies).
 
 Thanks for any info that is available!

OT - Flying pets to Ireland

[BERNERINFO]

Hi Jennie,

Pets coming into the UK have to travel under the Pets Travel Scheme (known as 
PETS) or go into 6 months quarantine.  All the current vaccine/health cert 
requirements for the PETS can be found on

http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/index.htm

Hope that helps!

I just asked my British friend, she says Ireland (NOT NORTHERN) does NOT
have quarantine!! So, presuming your cousin is moving to Ireland, and not
Northern Ireland ... It may be easy. If she is going to N. Ireland, then
quarantine comes into play. Pet passport is supposed to be open for N.
America now -- which means she'd need proof of rabies, and a blood test that
is 6 months old proving the animal has the antibodies for rabies.

Here's the URL for the UK (which doesn't include (Northern) Ireland--but may
be helpful depending on her situation.

Best of luck!!
