Did you bring your dog from the US originally?

If so, it’s that same process again.   :-\\\\

I’ve heard it’s easy to do UK to US though.

My dogs from the uk would a pet passport work?

Within the EU, yes.  Not outside the EU.

You think I would still have to pay the customs fees at heathrow airport to bring my dog back into the uk?

Without a doubt.

I'd budget $2k to $2.5k roundtrip depending on the dogs size.

 It's an anxious time, shipping a pet. I'd probably spend the whole trip worrying about doing everything right to get the the dog back into the UK.

How long are you going for? Unless you're talking months, or have a really good reason why, I'd say don't do it.

Hmmm, when we lived in Italy my grown daughter lived in Texas and brought her dog to Italy on vacations 3 times with no problems. She had the doggie passport and I think it cost a couple hundred dollars for airfare, he did fit under her seat, not on cargo. Don’t see why bringing a dog here would be different if u came on your USA passport

Italy and the UK have different laws though.

Animals travelling into the UK can't fly in cabin, they must fly as manifest cargo.
