AHC & EHC explained
Since January 2021, Pet Passports from Great Britain are no longer accepted for EU travel with your pets. Instead, you’ll need an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) or an Export Health Certificate (EHC).
They are issued by an Official Veterinarian (OV), must be obtained within 10 days of your departure and they are solely for dogs, cats, and ferrets.
You can include up to 5 pets on a single AHC, but they must be travelling for non-commercial purposes.
What are the requirements for an AHC?
Your pet needs to be microchipped
You pet needs to have had a rabies vaccination. This must have been administered AT LEAST 21 days before the AHC is issued
The proof of rabies vaccination – this can be in the form of a vaccination card, a vaccination certificate, an old pet passport or history from your vets. The document or history must contain the name of the owner who is travelling with the pet.
Evidence your pet’s microchip was scanned before the rabies vaccine was administered – this may be detailed on your rabies vaccine doument. If not, I will need you to ask your vet to email your pets history to me.
Tapeworm treament – for most EU countried this is required to be administered by a vet and stamped on the paperwork 24-120 hours before landing back in the UK. For Ireland, Malta, Norway, Finland and Nothern Ireland this must be administered 24-120 hours before you go insted.
