Pet Care and Travel to Italy

Pet care and travel to Italy

Most towns and cities do have adequate veterinary surgeons, before travel it may be wise to track down the nearest to you.

If your pet is insured, check with your insurance provider to whether or not you’re pet is covered outside the UK, and what procedure you should take when needing to make a claim abroad.

The Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is the system that allows pet dogs, cats and ferrets to travel to and from certain countries.
