To ask Her Majesty's Government how many pets have (1) entered, or (2) re-entered, the UK under the PETS Travel Scheme since it was launched; and how many cases of rabies have been diagnosed in relation to the scheme.

The UK fully harmonised with the EU Pet Travel Scheme on 1 January 2012. Since that date (up to the end of 2019), there have been 1,960,766 pet movements into Great Britain under the scheme.
The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) does not record how many of these pets were re-entering Great Britain. APHA does not hold details of pet movements into Northern Ireland.
There have been no confirmed cases of rabies in dogs and other mammals since 2012.
