Pet Travel, Driven by Veterinary Experience
Expert veterinary guidance and travel certification for pets travelling from the UK.
Making pet travel simpler
Travelling abroad with a pet can be exciting, but preparing for the journey can feel anything but simple.
From Animal Health Certificates and Export Health Certificates to Fit to Fly assessments, OV66 certification, RNATT blood testing and destination-specific requirements, international pet travel involves a lot of detail - and getting the timing or paperwork wrong can have serious consequences.
The London Travel Vet exists to make it easier.
We provide dedicated veterinary travel services for pets travelling from the UK, helping owners understand what their journey requires and ensuring the necessary veterinary examinations and certification are completed accurately.
Based in London, we combine veterinary expertise with a genuine understanding of travel to provide a professional, straightforward and personal service for pets and their owners.
Where Veterinary Expertise Meets a Passion for Travel
The London Travel Vet was founded by Dr Neil Smith BSc (Hons) BVetMed (Hons) MRCVS, a veterinary surgeon with over a decade of experience in veterinary practice and a genuine passion for travel.
Having personally travelled to more than 130 countries and all seven continents, Dr Neil understands the excitement of exploring the world - as well as the planning that goes into getting there.
Over the years, he has also helped pets travel to destinations around the world, from European holidays and relocations to more complex international journeys.
Being able to play a small part in helping pets and their owners begin their next adventure is what inspired The London Travel Vet.
A passion for travel fuels the business. Veterinary expertise is what underpins it.
