All pets will still need to be vaccinated against rabies but will no longer need a blood test and will only have to wait 21 days before they travel. Tick treatment for pets returning to the UK will no longer be required but tapeworm rules will apply to dogs only. The treatment has to be administered no less than 24 hours and no more than 120 hours (1-5 days) before its scheduled arrival time in the UK. The treatment must be recorded in the EU pet passport.
