Due to fears of rabies and other animal diseases, the UK has some of the strictest pet quarantine laws in the world. If you are moving a pet to the UK, you will need to get the necessary tests and treatments for your pet, obtain the necessary documentation, and find a reputable transport company. Thanks to the UK Pet Travel Scheme (PETS), your pet will not need to fulfill a six month quarantine period as long as you have fulfilled these requirements. Flight are available from both Larnaca and Paphos to London Gatwick, Manchester, Bristol, Doncaster Glasgow and Edinburgh. A cheaper way of getting your Pet to the UK (from Cyprus for example) is to have it flown to either Brussels, Paris or Amsterdam and have it collected there by a specialized UK Pet Courier such as 101 Pet Express.
