Frequently asked questions
Do I have to travel with my pet?
If you are not travelling with your pet you can still be issued with an AHC provided you are reunited with your pet within 5 days of travel.
​
If your pet is travelling with a pet courier you will need to provide their details to be added to the AHC. The courier will need to carry evidence that shows you will be reunited with your pet within 5 days, i.e details of travel ticket.
​
If your pet is travelling with a named friend or family member, then you will need to provide a written declaration that you authorise the named person to travel with your pet and you will be reunited within 5 days.
Can I use an EU pet passport?
UK vets are no longer permitted to apply UK given rabies vaccines into EU pet passports. If they do, it will invalidate the passport. You can still travel with an EU pet passport that has a valid rabies vaccine administered within the EU or in the UK prior to 1st January 2021. You should always check with the country you are travelling to that they will accept this.
