Isle of Man: what is specific to the country

  • Free movement of most dogs, cats and ferrets between Great Britain and the Isle of Man; no animal health requirements.
  • Prohibited dogs: Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Japanese Tosa, XL Bully.
  • Pets from the EU cannot land directly in the Isle of Man by private air transport or private boat; they must clear Great Britain first.

Returning from Isle of Man to the UK

Good to know

Isle of Man to Northern Ireland uses the AHC route (the Northern Ireland PTD scheme does not apply).

Flying on a private charter means your pet stays with you in the cabin. We plan the arrival airport around the checks your route needs. See how it works or ask us for a quote to Isle of Man.
