on 30 Oct 2013
I currently live in North Carolina, USA and I am thinking of relocating to London. However, I have two cats and one dog. I was just wondering how to bring my animals with me because they're pretty much the determining factor. Any up to date advice or information would be very helpful. Thanks!

I've put this question up on our Twitter and Facebook accounts to see if one of our expats has been through this personally.
The short answer is that it is do-able, but they may be subject to quarantine. They will also have to have health certifications and microchips.
Quite a while ago, someone posted something similar on our forum. There's a good answer to this question about recommendations for good removal companies in Europe, which lists some businesses that specialise in this kind of thing.
Best of luck,
Xavier.
