Documents passengers may need before travelling include: a valid ISO 15-digit microchip, a current rabies vaccination administered after the microchip was implanted, and an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) issued by an official vet within 10 days of UK arrival. Dogs also need a tapeworm treatment by an authorised vet 24–120 hours before arriving at the UK border. Requirements can change - please confirm current rules with your vet and the official UK government website before travel.
