What documents does my dog or cat need to travel from Schiphol to London?
Documents passengers may need before travelling include: a valid ISO 15-digit microchip, a current rabies vaccination given after the microchip was implanted, and an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) issued by an Official Veterinarian 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. Passengers are responsible for ensuring all documents are correct - please confirm current requirements with your vet and the official UK government website before travel.
Do I need a tapeworm treatment for my dog travelling from Amsterdam to London?
Yes, for dogs entering the UK. The tapeworm treatment must be administered by an authorised vet 24–120 hours before your dog arrives at the UK border at Folkestone. Timing is measured from treatment to border arrival - not from when you board the Eurotunnel. Plan this carefully with your vet and let us know your border arrival time when booking.
