Pet travel paperwork can feel confusing, especially if you are travelling close to your departure date. We help make the process clearer by guiding you through the information needed before your appointment.

What do I need before an Animal Health Certificate?

Before your Animal Health Certificate can be issued, your pet will usually need:

A microchip
A valid rabies vaccination
Rabies vaccination evidence
Travel details, including your EU entry country
Owner and pet details

Dogs may also need tapeworm treatment for certain destinations, so it is important to check the requirements for your specific journey.

When should I book my Animal Health Certificate?

An Animal Health Certificate must be issued before you enter the EU and is valid for travel for 10 days after it is issued by your vet. Day 1 is the date the certificate is issued. It is best to book in good time so that your documents can be checked before your appointment.
