answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2018 answer text <p>Canine Distemper is not a notifiable disease in the United Kingdom (UK) or the European Union (EU) and there is no requirement for dogs entering the country to be inspected or tested for the disease. There is a requirement for pets entering the UK to undergo identification and documentary checks to ensure that an adequate health preparation has taken place prior to entering the country.</p><p> </p><p>There is no official guidance with regard to distemper, however, the department stresses good practice for owners and kennels to protect their dogs against the virus given that there is a vaccine available globally. The guidance titled “Getting your Pet Vaccinated” has been published by the British Veterinary Association in relation to vaccinations suitable for the protection of pets which Defra promotes.</p><p> </p><p>All pet dogs moving to the UK for sale or rehoming must be examined by an Official Veterinarian (OV) in the country of origin prior to embarkation to ensure compliance with the Balai Directive for commercial movements. The OV must certify that the animal does not show any signs of disease within 48 hours of travelling.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 09/05/2018 12:30:27 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
