You must follow pet travel rules if you enter or return to the UK with your assistance dog.

These transport companies have agreed with the Animal and Plant Health Agency how theyll check assistance dogs meet pet travel rules on these routes.

If you travel from an EU country, you can use other companies and routes, but you should check they:

  • accept assistance dogs
  • check pets meet travel rules

Your dog could be quarantined and you could be delayed if:

  • you travel with a company that isnt registered with APHA
  • your assistance dog doesnt meet pet travel rules
