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.
