An Animal Health Certificate is a document that is required if you wish to take your dog, cat or ferret to a country within the EU or Northern Ireland.
Your evidence must include:
- An up to date rabies vaccination
- Evidence of a microchip prior to the vaccination (can be done by having an existing Pet Passport or Rabies Certificate signed by your vet.)
These documents must be included in your form when applying for an AHC, and include the owners name, address, pets microchip number as well as date of birth, sex, colour and breed.
- Issued an Animal Health Certificate within 10 days of travel or a valid EU pet Passport.
- Treated for tapeworms if you are travelling to Northern Ireland, Ireland, Finland, Norway or Malta.
Your pet must be:
- Microchipped
- Vaccinated against Rabies and it must be at least 21 days since the primary vaccination
- Issued an Animal Health Certificate within 10 days of travel or a valid EU pet Passport.
- Treated for tapeworms if you are travelling to Northern Ireland, Ireland, Finland, Norway or Malta.

Standard vaccination cards, invoices, microchip certificates or documents issued by anyone other than your vet. We require certified documents to clearly show the vet's name, signature and practice stamp.
Your pet will require another valid Rabies vaccination and won't be able to travel until 21 days after the vaccination.
An AHC is required for each individual trip. A repeat Rabies vaccination is not neccessary as long as it is still in date. For each trip to Norther Ireland or European countries, a tapeworm treatment will be required.
