Animals and pets

If you are bringing a pet with you, entry requirements for animals from Ukraine have now been relaxed. Instead of applying for a licence in advance, you can arrive at the border and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) will assist with simplified paperwork and cover the costs of vaccination and quarantine.

Please note that the quarantine period may be up to four months, depending on the vaccination status of each animal. 

If you are travelling from Ukraine with your pet, call +44 3000 200 301 (option 2) or e-mail pettravel@apha.gov.uk to find out what to do.
