LONDON — The British government says it intends to lift the six-month quarantine it imposed on Canadian and American pets entering Britain.
The government says research shows there is little risk the cats and dogs could introduce rabies to the country.
Two years ago, the British government introduced a “pet passport” plan allowing cats and dogs from Western Europe to skip quarantine if they have documents confirming their identity and rabies-free status.
