Is your pet prepared?
PART A Entry to the UK from other EU Member States and
approved non-EU countries:
For your pet to enter the UK from these countries, you must answer ‘yes’ to the
following questions:
• Is it microchipped?
• Is your pet currently vaccinated against rabies?
• Was it vaccinated after it was microchipped?
• Have you got an EU Pet Passport or Ofcial Veterinary Health Certicate*
from your vet certifying the microchip and vaccination?
• Have 21 days passed since it was vaccinated?
• Are you travelling into the UK with your pet on an approved route?***
PART B Entry to the UK from non-approved countries:
For your pet to enter the UK from these countries, you must answer
‘yes’ to the following steps:
• Is it microchipped?
• Is your pet currently vaccinated against rabies?
• Was it vaccinated after being microchipped?
• Was a blood sample for a blood test taken at least 30 days after
it was vaccinated?
• Has it passed the blood test? (your vet will tell you)
• Have you got an EU Pet Passport** or Ofcial Veterinary Health Certicate*
from your vet certifying the microchip, vaccination and blood test result?
• Have three months passed since the date the blood sample was taken?
• Are you travelling into the UK with your pet on an approved route?***
*** Ofcial Veterinary Health Certicates are issued by non-EU countries only.
*** If your pet was successfully blood tested and issued with an EU pet passport before it left the
UK or other EU country to go to a non-approved country, the three-month waiting period
before re-entering the UK will not apply (but all other rules still apply, including
the requirement for the blood sample to be taken at least 30 days after vaccination).
*** For certain assistance dogs, they must travel into an approved airport. See our website for
further information.
