Hi,

I am planning to take my dog with me on my visit to UK.

I am planning to use Virgin A. Airlines to transport my dog to UK.
Spending 5 months in UK, would my dog be able to stay in UK with a friend?

Once I return back to USA, I am planning to return back to UK as soon as possible and stay for good. So I must take my dog on the first visit rather then be dealing with the 6 month quarantine thing on the second visit. Currently I am starting the PETS plan and 6 month quarantine in USA.

Would love to hear from those who done this before or know someone who had been though this. Any one who knows the process, the airline information, DEFRA, USDA, personal experience, the detail steps, documents and any helpful advise you can offer me in this overwhelming process.

Thanks!
