Bringing your pet to the UK from Ukraine

If you are from Ukraine and are seeking refuge in the UK, you can follow rules to bring your pet dog, cat or ferret without it going into quarantine or isolation if it has:

  • been microchipped
  • been vaccinated against rabies and had a blood test 30 days later to confirm the vaccine worked, and waited 3 months after the blood test to travel to the UK
  • GB pet health certificate
  • had tapeworm treatment (dogs only) between 24 hours (one day) and 120 hours (5 days) before travel

If your pet does not have a GB pet health certificate but does have an EU pet passport, call the Animal and Plant Health Agency on +44 3000 200 301 for advice.

If your pet does not meet these requirements or you do not have proof that it does, you must apply for a licence to bring your pet to the UK.

You can get a single licence covering up to 5 of your own pets that are travelling with you.
