Travelling with pets

All existing UK issued Pet Passports are no longer valid for travel to a country in the EU or Northern Ireland, you now need an Animal Health Certificate (AHC). Our expert team are qualified to issue these, so please get in touch to arrange yours.

Pet travel to the EU

-       AHCcan not be issued more than 10 days before travel.
-       The AHC is only valid for one single trip.
-       It is valid for up to 4 months and for up to 5 pets.
-       The pet/s travelling must be at least12-weeks old, microchipped and Rabies vaccinated (completed at least 21 days before the travel).
-       Certain countries also require pre-travel tapeworm treatment
-       Before return to the UK your pet will need a certified tapeworm treatment which was given by a vet, 24-120 hours prior to departure.

There may be  different requirements for some countries, so please check the  latest UK Government information about travelling with your pet.

Please also check the entry requirements of the country that will be your port of entry to the EU, as well as your destination.

We are here to provide advice, help and administer the treatments required but ultimately it is the owner’s responsibility to ensure all requirements for their individual travel needs are met.
