Planning to travel from Great Britain to the EU with your dog, cat or ferret? You will need an Animal Health Certificate issued by an Official Veterinarian.

Your pet must be microchipped and have a valid rabies vaccination. The AHC must be issued within 10 days before your arrival in the EU and can include up to five pets travelling together.

What is included?

• An in-person identity and microchip check

• Preparation, completion and signing of the Animal Health Certificate

• Clear guidance about using the certificate during your journey

• Advice about tapeworm treatment and other destination-specific requirements

• Help with any questions or concerns before you travel

A simple three-step process

Email clear copies or photographs of your pet’s vaccination record, including the microchip number and rabies vaccination details.

2. Attend the appointment with your pet

Your pet must be present so that their identity and microchip can be checked.

3. Receive your completed certificate

Your Animal Health Certificate will be carefully checked, signed and ready for your journey.
