North Americans will be pleased to learn that the UK's tough animal quarantine regulations are being relaxed. From December 11, 2002 dogs and cats that meet requirements will be able to enter Britain without going into quarantine for six months. These requirements include having the animals microchipped and vaccinated by a veterinarian, together with a blood test, at least six months before travelling.

Details of these conditions can be found on the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' (DEFRA) web site: defra.gov.uk.
