What documents do I need to bring my Pet to the UK?
To bring a dog into the UK it must have been microchipped and this must be done prior to necessary inoculations/vaccinations*
All dogs must have had a rabies injection at least 21 days prior to travel, they must also be wormed. Once the animal has been given the worming medication (which must be done at a vets with a stamp on your pet passport that shows both the date AND time of medication given), you must then wait 24 hours before the animal can travel.
The animal can then only enter the UK within 120 hours of the medication being given.
For European travel, a valid pet passport with evidence of medication is needed – just like humans need visas or passports when travelling internationally. However, if an animal will be entering the UK from outside Europe then they’ll have additional requirements: proof of age (in some cases) and vaccinations; again similar to what human travellers would encounter during international flights.
*We would always recommend checking with DEFRA for all up to date pet travel regulations.
