Animal Health Certificates & Pet Exports in Edinburgh
Travelling to the EU?
For EU travel, a standard one-pet Animal Health Certificate costs £99 at our Hermitage Drive Car Park collection point. Home visits start at £129 where covered, with supporting documents reviewed in advance.
Check the current GOV.UK pet travel guidance. If you are unsure which certificate you need, ask us before booking.
Pet Export Health Certificates for International Travel: £299
A Pet Export Health Certificate, often called an EHC, records whether your pet meets the destination’s health and identification requirements. The paperwork and timing depend on the country and journey. We will confirm the appropriate certification route when you enquire.
Send your destination and any transit countries, planned departure date, number and species of pets, and the vaccination and microchip records you have. Contact us before arranging the final certification appointment so any required preparation can be considered.
For an international relocation or a more complex journey, our Edinburgh Official Veterinarian can help establish what certification and supporting records may be needed for your destination and transit route. Requirements and timescales vary, so please contact us early rather than booking a standard AHC for a non-EU journey.
Your pet will usually need:
-
A readable microchip
-
A valid rabies vaccination
-
Rabies vaccination given after microchip placement
-
Proof of microchip date
-
Proof of rabies vaccination history
-
Travel details, including your EU entry country and planned travel date
-
An AHC appointment within the correct travel window
Your Animal Health Certificate is valid for entry into the EU for 10 days after it is issued. Once you have entered the EU, it can also be used for onward travel within the EU and for re-entry to Great Britain, provided it remains within the permitted validity period.
How to arrange your pet travel certificate in Edinburgh
1. Choose the right route
For an EU Animal Health Certificate, check your postcode and choose the £99 Edinburgh collection point where suitable, or a home visit where covered. For a Pet Export Health Certificate, contact us first with your destination, route and travel date so we can confirm what paperwork is needed.
2. Send your pet’s records
Share your pet’s microchip details, vaccination history and travel information. For exports, we will confirm any additional supporting records needed for the destination.
3. Agree the preparation and appointment
We review the evidence and prepare the paperwork. Your export appointment is arranged around the destination’s certification requirements.
4. Meet your Official Veterinarian
Your vet visits your covered home address or meets you at Hermitage Drive Car Park, where suitable for the checks required. Every travelling pet must attend. Bring the original documents requested during the review.
5. Receive your certificate
Once the required checks are complete and the conditions are met, your vet signs the certificate. Keep it with the supporting travel documents for your journey.
Your appointment checklist
- Check the appointment address and time in your confirmation.
- Complete the requested owner and pet details, and send the supporting documents before the appointment.
- Let us know if your travel dates, route or pet’s records have changed since booking.
- Bring every pet included on the certificate and the original records requested by the team.
After certification, keep the issued paperwork and supporting documents accessible for the journey. Read the destination guide for your route, and contact the team if your plans change.
