"How long does an AHC last?" "Do they need a rabies booster?" "What's the 21-day rule?" "Does the microchip need to be first?" "What about the return trip?"

Post-Brexit pet travel rules change constantly

and one missed vet signature can cancel your entire trip.

Travelling with your pet is already a logistical challenge, but post-Brexit the complicated travel rules add to the stress. The paperwork is not clearly communicated and there is a lot of misinformation online about the rules.

You have to take care of the Animal Health Certificate (AHC), the microchip dating rules, rabies vaccination timing and boosters. And the return requirements that people forget until they are already in Europe.

Most UK pet owners travelling to Spain for the first time read five different websites and come away more confused than when they started. Some get turned back at the border. Some spend money on certificates they did not need, or did not get the one they did.

Border Pet is a single, up-to-date checklist for UK to Spain pet travel, for dogs and cats. Tell us your travel date and where you are starting from. We will tell you exactly what you need, what order to do it in, and how much time you have.

Post-Brexit pet travel is a minefield.
We handle the hard parts:

  • Exact Timelines

    Microchip sequencing, rabies boosters, and the strict 21-day wait rule.

  • The AHC

    Getting your Animal Health Certificate issued within the vital 10-day window.

  • The Return Journey

    The mandatory tapeworm rules people forget until they are already in Europe.
