If you often travel abroad for your holidays, what do you do with your beloved pet dog? Do you put him in a kennel
or leave him with friends? One thing is certain, you're extremely unlikely to take him with you, because if you (1) ...,
he (2) ... six months in quarantine when you return. A bit of a stiff penalty for two weeks' romping in the Dordogne!
But this is set to change soon. From April your dog will be able to travel with you (3) ... he (4) ... a rabies vaccination
and is wearing an identification chip. Cara Lewis, spokesperson for the Animal Welfare Society, said, `This is very
good news for all British animal lovers. I know many people who (5) .... take their dogs on holiday with them if only
they (6) .... Indeed, I used to travel to northern France regularly and I (7) ... my dog Wolfie with me every time (8) ...
the quarantine regulations.' But Cara also has words of warning: 'Pet owners should remember that there are other
considerations when taking animals abroad. (9)...... your animal become disorientated, he (10) ..., so ensure that he
is wearing a collar with your holiday address at all times.' It isn't all good news, however. If you (11 ) ... to a country
outside Western Europe this year, you (12) ... your pet with you — it will be some time before regulations for other
destinations are relaxed, if ever.
