When travelling to an EU country or Northern Ireland, your pet needs:

  • 1. a microchip
  • 2. a valid rabies vaccination
  • 3. an animal health certificate unless you have a pet passport issued in an EU country or Northern Ireland
  • 4. tapeworm treatment for dogs if you’re travelling directly to Finland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Norway or Malta
  • These requirements also apply to assistance dogs.

    Check the rules of the country you’re travelling to for any additional restrictions or requirements before you travel.
