| Has anyone flown to UK from US with your yorkie? I don't plan to go to UK yet.. but you never know. My bf started his executive MBA at Columbia-London Business School. So he will be flying to London for classes a few times a year. He gets a week-long hotel there... so maybe one day Haruka and I could go with Haruka. He flew with Delta this time, and I looked up their policy. It seems like they don't allow pets for their flights to UK. I definitely would love to take her carry-on. If not, I probably don't even want to go there... Has anyone flown to UK with a pet?

| I think that there use to be a six month quarantine period if you wanted to enter the UK with a dog. Now I think that they can enter without the quarantine but have to be flown in cargo along with numerous other restrictions. DogFriendly.com - Taking Your Dog From the U.S. or Canada To England

| Coming To The UK I live in the UK and really want to travel to America with my dog, Honey. If you plan on coming here you will need to get certain vaccinations at least six months before you come. Also right now I cannot find any airlines which will let anyone take their pup in the cabin with them, only as checked luggage. However, depending on your financial status there is other ways e.g. travelling by boat (not for me) or airlines which specify in flying dogs(no idea how much this might knock you). Try out these websites and search the web and see what you find: Taking your pets abroad : Directgov - Travel and transport Pet Exports Ltd. UK. Taking your pet abroad. Frequently asked questions. Hope you get it all sorted and can bring your pup with you! |

| what would you do with you baby while sightseeing or eating at a restuarant? Would you trust to leave it unattended at a hotel? I doubt your baby would enjoy the flight or the time there! Just writing this because we were forced to take our Harlee (we only had 1 yorkie at the time) on the plane back to jersey from arizona and she almost died from anxiety in the carry-on bag....She wouldn't stop panting, and we gave her rescue remedy too...The airline called for a vet and luckily a dr. was on the plane and suggested of all things 'Jack Daniels" , for Harlee...A couple drops on her tongue...They also let me keep her on my lap...She is not crate trained and being confined in that bag for 5 hours would have killed her...Then we rented a pet friendly condo (we went to my son's bootcamp graduation) with my daughters 2 yorkies and it was arranged that no one entered the condo til we left...We still gated the dogs during the graduation incase someone came in.... I didn't really trust anyone to watch her while we were away , so that's the only reason why we brought her...Never again...If it's not in a car, she's not going ! Good luck ...

I don't go to a place that does the bag check... Trip to Washington DC was disaster because I couldn't go to any museums. But I tend to pick the places that allow pets. Haruka is great in the carrier... and I haven't had a problem yet. Haruka has traveled so many places... and I think she does enjoy. Now I am in NYC with her... and we are ready for adventure.... It seems like London will be hard to travel to because of all the regulation to enter the country.

| Just to warn you that the regulations are very strictly enforced. Even though we now have a "Pets Passport" scheme that, theoretically, allows dogs to leave the UK to accompany their owners on holiday to other European countries I know of lots of cases where this has led to real problems just getting the dog back into the UK. It's usually been because of the paperwork regarding the tick treatment. Either the treatment was given an hour or so outside the tiny window of allowance, before the dog travelled back home, or the paperwork was signed by a vet not on the authorised list. And even though it says you can apply for early release from quarantine, I've never heard of a case where this has been granted, it's always been the full six months. And that's for dogs who were born & live here! Although most pet owners were delighted when the scheme was introduced, looking forward to their pet being able to accompany them on holiday to France etc, there have been so many pitfalls that most owners don't go abroad with their pets.....just isn't worth being without them for the next six months! Believe me, these days officialdom is rarely on your side in this country. xx Meggie |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Some co-workers took a cat back to Australia when their time was up to work here. They said it was a nightmare! I think there is a 6 month quarantine too. We usually go once a year for work, now that I have my Yorkie who won't be away from me without trauma, I think hubby will go alone now.
