Required for animals from non-EU/EEA countries unless they come from a listed third country. source
Tapeworm treatment
Dogs must generally be treated against fox tapeworm 24 to 120 hours before arrival. Exempt: dogs arriving directly from Finland, Ireland, Northern Ireland or Malta. Cats and ferrets are exempt. source
Quarantine
No quarantine is listed for pets that meet the entry rules. An animal without approved papers can be refused: for example an animal arriving from Sweden without them must be sent back or boarded at the owner's cost. source
