Can International Students Have Pets in UK?

Yes, international students can have pets in the UK. However, you must do your due diligence to ensure your pet can arrive with you in London and live comfortably as pet abandonment is a serious offence under UK laws.

You will have to ensure your pet has an international pet passport and meets all health and safety requirements like vaccinations, microchipping, quarantine, etc.

Also, since many landlords and on-campus residences in the UK do not allow pets, you would have to find a private pet friendly apartment near your campus.
