Are pitbull breeds allowed as service dogs in the UK?

Expert Info

I'm wanting to move to London but I know that they have banned pitbulls and pretty much anything that resembles one. My service dog is a mutt but definitely has pitbull in her. Since she is my service dog and she helps me with day to day life I can't just simply rehome her move without her. Since she is a service dog will they let me keep her? Also will she have to be quarantined?

Hi there,

I would advise you to contact DEFRA as your case is quite specific.

The rules of quarantine vary according to which country you are coming from.

Where will your dog be coming from?
