KLM Cargo has joined the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) as of May 1st, 2003.  This means that you can bring your cat or dog to England with KLM Cargo without putting your pet into quarantine in the UK, provided that your pet meets the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) requirements. KLM Cargo is allowed to transport cats and dogs shipped as manifested cargo to the UK from European PETS countries on the route Amsterdam (Schiphol) to London Heathrow.
