Travelling with your pet
When it’s time to zip off abroad, it’s always more enjoyable if your pet can travel too. At Ollie and Florrie Vets we are Official Vets, which means we can give you the right advice about pet travel and are accredited to provide the official travel paperwork you’ll need for a smooth journey.
What you need to know
UK pet passports are no longer valid for travel into the EU. Instead, an Animal Health Certificate is now required for each trip to the EU – unless your pet already has a valid non-UK EU passport issued in an EU country.
​
Please contact us about travelling with your pet, we will arrange the right appointment for your pet’s needs. Depending on where you’re travelling to, there are different requirements for vaccinations and documentation. ​You can find out more about getting an Animal Health Certificate on the GOV.uk website: “Taking your pet dog, cat or ferret abroad”
