Petition Bring back compulsory tick treatment for dogs entering the UK
In 2012 the requirement for dogs entering the UK was dropped. Dogs encountering ticks abroad may be exposed to pathogens not present in the UK with the risk of tick-borne disease being brought back to the UK. This puts not only dogs, but humans at risk.
