Cats in transit in UK

Question
My cats will be travelling via British Airline from Italy (Bologna) to US (Texas) with one stop in London. They will spend one night there at the BA animal house. I would like to know if they will need to have the six months waiting period before travel in Italy? or the blood test is just enough? Also, I would like to know if you consider there is a  best route to send then to US? Thanks a lot!

Answer
Hi Lalica,

Thank you for your inquiry.  As long as you are transiting through London, you should not have a problem.  The pets will never leave the airport, so they will not have to fulfill the import requirements for the UK -- just the destination country import requirements.

There is nothing wrong with the routing you have selected as far as I can see -- BA will do a good job caring for them.

Happy travels!
Kind regards,
