Kennels Not Worried By UK Quarantine Laws

The results of the UKPets Quick Poll suggests that you believe that the majority of UK kennels are unlikely to be affected by the new PETS scheme for importing pets to the UK. The open poll of visitors to the site between 09 May and 02 June attracted 118 respopndents, not counting an initial 4 votes (from this office!), an average of 5 votes per day. The question we asked was: The UK quarantine laws have been relaxed. How do you think this will affect UK Boarding Kennels? The results were: 7% of voters said: This is good news for UK Kennels 56% of voters said: This will not affect UK Kennels 37% of voters said: This is bad news for UK Kennels Over 50% of the votes were cast within 7 days of announcing the poll in various UK discussion groups at which stage the view that this was 'bad' news for UK kennels briefly reached 65%.
