Pet Travel Documents

Travelling abroad with your pet can involve more than simply booking a flight and getting a veterinary certificate. The documents and health requirements your pet needs depend on where you are travelling, how you are travelling, your destination country’s regulations and, in some cases, your pet’s individual circumstances.

The rules can be complicated - and getting the wrong document, missing a required treatment or completing the paperwork incorrectly can cause problems at the border or even prevent your pet from travelling.

The London Travel Vet is here to make the process easier to understand.

In this section, you’ll find practical guidance on the most common veterinary travel documents and requirements, including Animal Health Certificates (AHCs), Export Health Certificates (EHCs), Fit to Fly assessments, OV66 declarations and Rabies Antibody Titre Tests (RNATTs).

Each guide explains what the document is, when it may be required, how the process works and some of the important timings and requirements to be aware of.
