Check your inbox — your UK to Europe Pet Travel Checklist should land in the next few minutes. Check your spam folder if you don’t see it.
Your checklist is just the beginning. Over the next two weeks we’ll send you everything you need to get your pet to Europe and back without a hitch.
The UK to Europe Pet Travel Checklist — every document, every deadline, every step from 8 weeks out to travel day.
The most common reason pets get refused at the border — and how to make absolutely sure it doesn’t happen to yours.
Hate paperwork? We’ll show you how to get the whole thing handled — vet coordination, document checking, the lot.
Routes, ferries, airlines, destination guides — everything you need to travel Europe comfortably with your dog or cat.
The government is actively reviewing whether to reinstate a simplified pet passport system for EU travel. The moment that’s confirmed — no more AHC every single trip, just one document valid for life — we’ll email you the same day.
You won’t have to check the news. We’ll be watching, and we’ll tell you.
Not all vets can issue an AHC. Use the RCVS Vet Finder to locate a qualified Official Veterinarian in your area.
