Pet Export/Imports - Pets Travel Scheme and Pet Passports

  

Enjoy a nice time abroad on holiday with the whole family - with no worries of anyone left behind! 

  

  

  

  

  

Vets2Home - and our Official Veterinary Surgeon (OV) - offer pet owners with pampered pooches and spoiled felines to sort out all the practical arrangements around preparing your pet (or pets) to travel freely from the UK and in/out of the EU and many other participating countries around the world - once completing the passport procedure which by 1st of January 2012 has become a much more simple and affordable procedure. All we need is to see you and your pet at home on one to two occasions within a month to provide your pet with this easy life-long travel document! 

   

The passport is valid lifelong for your pet - as long as the Rabies booster vaccinations are kept strictly up-to-date and given before the expiry date - and usually a minimum of 21 days before the intended travel date. The type of vaccine we use has 2-3 years of validity depending on whether it's a cat or a dog being vaccinated, so there is plenty of time to keep it up-to-date in between travels.  

   

We strongly recommend that you always check out the official DEFRA website (use link below) before you travel with your pet -for the latest specific regulations related to your chosen destination as some countries differ slightly on which additional requirements to meet and when (flea/tick/worm treatment required and other relevant treatment).  

  

The previous very strict -and costly- blood test procedure has been harmonised per 1st of January 2012 enabling easier travel with pets between the UK, most EU and other listed countries. 

  

Procedure for obtaining a Pet Passport: 

 

-      Microchip with registration 

-      Rabies vaccination 21 days before intended travel date  

-      Travel within most EU countries incl UK do not require a rabies blood test after 1st January 2012 

-      There may be other special requirements in your chosen destination country (please check these) or serious local diseases you want to protect your pet from contracting (always check with a local vet at your destination)
