Book a pet travel appointmentWhy being prepared early matters
Each country has different entry requirements, and missing a step — or getting the timing wrong — can result in your pet being refused entry, placed in quarantine, or even sent back. Requirements can include specific vaccines, blood tests, waiting periods, approved carriers, and treatments given within strict timeframes.
We'll help you navigate these rules clearly, ensuring every requirement is met and every form is completed correctly. We stay up to date with changing regulations, so you don't have to.
How we can help your pet travel well:
Taking your pet to Northern Ireland?
Your pet needs a Northern Ireland Pet Travel Document — it's free and you can apply online. As long as they're microchipped and you're not continuing to an EU country, you're good to go. No rabies jabs or tapeworm treatment required for this route. We can check your pet’s microchip and offer advice if you have any concerns.
