What is an Animal Health Certificate?
An Animal Health Certificate, or AHC, is an official document used for certain non-commercial movements of dogs, cats and ferrets from Great Britain into the EU.
It includes important information about your pet, such as:
Microchip details
Rabies vaccination details
Owner information
Travel information
The certificate must be issued by an Official Veterinarian.
What does my pet need before travel?
Your pet will generally need:
A microchip
A valid rabies vaccination
Evidence of the vaccination history
The correct travel documentation
If your pet has had its first rabies vaccination, you must normally wait at least 21 full days before travel.

Travelling from North Wales to Ireland?
North Wales is a popular departure point for owners travelling towards Ireland via Holyhead.
Dogs entering Ireland generally require tapeworm treatment given by a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival.
The treatment must be correctly recorded in your pet’s travel documentation.
If your trip includes Ireland, make sure you plan your treatment timing carefully.
