Virgin report rise in passengers travelling with pets
10.12.11
Virgin Atlantic has revealled that since 2003 it has seen an extraordinary 1500% increase in the number of dogs leaving the UK to be with their owners as they go on holiday or relocate abroad. The same period has also seen a 325% increase in the number of cats being exported.
The airline says this this rise is likely to continue into 2012. The government is introducing new regulations for bringing cats and dogs in to the UK that will make pet transport easier. Owners will no longer have to place their pets in quarantine for six months; instead, this period is being reduced to just 21 days for those cats and dogs coming in to the UK.
