Pet Travel Checklist

Family vacations and long-term travel no longer need to exclude the family dog or cat. Traveling with pets can be similar to traveling with children, with some preparation and planning.

Please see below for a small guide to help make things easier for both yourself, and your pet.

Your pets will need;

ISO Standard Microchip (Your pet must be microchipped before it’s vaccinated against rabies. The vaccination won’t count for travel if your pet isn’t microchipped first)
Rabies Vaccine – EU and listed countries
Rabies Vaccine and blood test – Unlisted countries
UK or EU issued Pet Passport (New style if issued after 29th Dec 2014)
Third Country Official Certificate – if entering the EU or UK from a listed or an unlisted non-EU Country
Tapeworm -This applies to dogs only before entering the UK
Declaration – Confirming non sale or transfer of ownership

Documents Needed for Travel

Before travelling, you/your pet will need various documents and checks. If you are unsure of anything, please contact us and we will be happy to help.

Passport Issues

We offer a complimentary passport check service upon booking.

We are happy to check scanned paperwork and advise on any incorrectly issued passports/certificates giving time for amendments to me made or new paperwork to be issued prior to pick up.

Customer Feedback

Hello Stacey Paul and Craig I would like to say a big thank you for arranging Zoe’s journey to run so smoothly. We normally flew her to the UK, but as she is now 15 decided it would be more suitable for her to be driven overland from home to home. As she is now an elderly dog and is on a lot of medication we were naturally concerned, but when she arrived at our house she just settled in and would not have known she had been on a 36 hour trip without us. Thanks Stacey for all the text we received thoughout her journey it was comforting to know how she was getting on. Thanks Paul and Craig for looking after her so well during her journey and seeing to her medication. We go back to Spain in October and then back to the UK in December, so will definitely be using your company again. We were recommended to your company by another couple sitting next to us having coffee, and they just mentioned that their dog had just been returned to them and what a wonderful service you had given. Many thanks and we shall be in touch. Kind regards Jackie and Bob
