We’ve taken our dog abroad for the last 14y, at least 21 days before travel the dog will need a rabies’s injection ( covers dog for between 1-3 y ) then arrange a AHC ( animal health certificate) no more than 10 days before travel, it can be with your vet check what they charge as some can be expensive but depending on your crossing there are vets who will supply one for around £100, just booked one for our new dog with pet pass Havant Portsmouth, our vet (who charges £265 for AHC) has sent them all the dogs information and will pick it up before we sail, then when abroad we’ll secure a pet passport for her,

Streamlined Animal Health Certificate providers

There are now a few vets who have set up a specialised streamlined AHC service, so I thought a separate thread would be useful to make them readily accessible. PassPets, Havant https://www.passpets.co.uk/ Abbeywell Vets, Folkestone https://animalhealthcertificate.online/ Animal Health...

Get a pet passport while your over there

European Vets that have issued EU Pet Passports to Brits since Brexit

Does anyone know if giving a second rabies jab within a few months is ok for dogs? As Maz says, it’s perfectly ok and routinely done to pass titre test.

There are more branches of passpets now so you may find one local to you. They charge £99 for the AHC. Of course the tunnel is easiest as you stay with dog in the MH but, as it is now more expensive, we went P&O Dover Calais in September and booked the dog lounge which was great. The dog checks were done in MH together with our passports. It is worth checking your dog’s chip at your own vets before you go as it can be nervewracking passing the reader over the neck and not finding it for 2 or 3 goes.

Tips on obtaining and using an EU Pet Passport

Now that more and more people are seeking to obtain an EU Pet Passport instead of being tied to Animal Health Certificates (AHCs), I thought I would put together this guide to hopefully clarify the process and avoid potential problems. It has turned out to be a lengthy post, so a mug of coffee...
