The 6 months still must be done, either before you arrive or after you arrive. The scheme, PETS, requires every pet to serve the quarantine time. The scheme allows that time to be served in your home country (if you qualify).

It's a very specific situation that requires a lot of work - if you don't do things according to PETS, you'll find your pet in quarantine quickly. Alos, if you're coming from a country not on the list (certain European countries on 28 February 2000, extended to Cyprus, Malta and certain long haul countries and territories on 31 January 2001. Bahrain joined on 1 May 2002. Mainland USA and Canada joined on 11 December 2002) then you'll have to serve the quarantine within the UK.

Don't show up to the UK with a pet without having proof that you've complied with PETS. We did this with 2 90 pound labradors. It's not simple.
