Any pet arriving with incomplete, inaccurate or incorrect documentation, without approval, or where its microchip won’t read, will have to be flown back to point of origin outside the UK or held in our Animal Reception Centre pending transportation to quarantine and a resolution by the Quarantine Centre with the Animal Health Office.
