The list of countries that these dogs come from are listed in <strong>Annex 1</strong>.</p><p>The purpose of the Pet Travel Scheme is to manage the risk of rabies entering the UK and to ensure appropriate vaccination, at an appropriate age, therefore the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) do not systematically record numbers for all imports from individual countries.</p><p> </p><p>The data for commercial dog imports found in <strong>Annex 2</strong> was extracted from the Trade Control and Expert System (TRACES). In some cases imports are recorded on TRACES as ‘<em>Canis familiaris</em> / <em>Felis catus’</em>, so APHA is unable to distinguish between cat or dog imports.
