It is now required that you hold a valid Pet Passport and certified Rabies Vaccination to travel to the UK or Europe with your pet.
To obtain a Pet Passport, you will need to make an appointment with us. Your pet will be scanned for a microchip. If they don’t have one, they will need to be microchipped as a means of identification for the passport. Your pet will be vaccinated against Rabies and this will be certified on the passport. A rabies vaccination involves an injection given under the skin around the back of the neck of your pet. In Ireland, the Rabies vaccination is valid for 3 years but depending on what countries you intend on travelling to, this vaccination may need to be given yearly.
Your passport will be issued by the vet and ready for you to take home just after your appointment.
NOTE-It is possible to have a photo of your pet on the passport. If you wish to have a photo on the passport, please bring a photo with you to your appointment. (Dimensions 5cm x 7cm – Landscape photo).
For further information or the cost of getting a Pet Passport for your dog or cat, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
