Animal Health Certificate or Export Health Certificate: Which Does Your Pet Need?

Animal Health Certificates and Export Health Certificates sound similar, but they are used for different journeys.

When an AHC is commonly used

An AHC is commonly used for non-commercial travel with dogs, cats and ferrets from Great Britain into the EU.

When an EHC may be required

Many non-EU destinations use country-specific export certification instead. The requirements can involve different treatments, tests, declarations and timing.

Check before you book

If your destination is outside the EU, do not assume an AHC is the right document. Send us the destination and travel date first so the correct certification route can be identified.

Our standard AHCs start from £129 and pet export certification starts from £299. You can check availability and book online at https://www.thepetpassportco.co.uk/custom-booking-form.
