Travelling Pets
There are other parasites to which your pet may be exposed on visiting countries outside the UK. Two notable worms are Heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) which could be fatal in your dog if not prevented, and one type of Tapeworm (Echinococcus multilocularis), which can cause serious and fatal disease in people.
If you are intending to travel with your pet, you should talk to your vet in plenty of time to establish the best worming regime to ensure the protection of both your pet's health and that of your family.
For further information about what you will need to do before, during and after travel abroad with your pet, refer to the Pet Travel Scheme guidelines on the DEFRA website.
