Pet Travel Scheme
Pet passports are no longer valid to travel from Great Britain. You must now travel using an animal health certificate. You need to do this no more than 10 days before you travel. The certificate needs to be signed by an ‘official veterinarian’ (OV).
You do not need an animal health certificate if you have a pet passport issued in an EU country or Northern Ireland.
When you visit the practice, you’ll need to provide proof of your pet’s microchipping date and vaccination history
Your pet’s animal health certificate will be valid after the date of issue for:
10 days for entry into the EU or Northern Ireland
4 months for onward travel within the EU
4 months for re-entry to Great Britain
Your pet will need a new animal health certificate for each trip to an EU country or Northern Ireland from Great Britain.
For more information on Animal Health Certificates, please contact the practice on 01492 878581.
