NOAH's comments on changes to the Pet Travel Scheme
The changes to the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) which took effect from 1 January 2012 make it easier for pet owners to travel abroad with their pets, while keeping the UK protected from rabies.
The changes have led to some concerns being expressed about the potential for an increased risk of introducing rabies to the UK. However, DEFRA states that detailed risk assessment shows the risk to remain very low.

Cats and dogs escape financial cutbacks
While it’s impossible to go through a day without hearing about new austerity measures, pet owners who believe in preventative healthcare, it seems, are bucking the trend, with significantly more (84%) visiting the vet at least once a year in 2010 compared to 2007 (78%). What’s more, 44% have increased their spend on their pets in the last year with only a very small number (5%) decreasing it. There has also been a significant increase in the number of dogs insured by this group since 2007, which now stands at 55% compared to 41% in 2007.
These findings are part of a recent Noesis survey (January 2011) commissioned by the National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) of 1,000 pet owners, which was originally run in 2007.
