I think having the centre at Heathrow for so long stems from us having such stringent quarantine laws in the past. All animals (except race horses for which there were different rules) had to spend 6 months in quarantine before being allowed in to the country. Now we have Pet Passports which I believe are documents indicating that the animal is appropriately vaccinated and checked.
The quarantine laws were very harsh but they did keep the UK free from rabies and the like.
It seems as though the pet passports are doing as good a job, so far, and are much more pet friendly.
