Travelling to Europe With Your Cat: Understanding Animal Health Certificates
Most cats travelling from Great Britain to the EU need an Animal Health Certificate for each trip. Your cat must have a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and matching records. The certificate must usually be issued within 10 days of entering the EU and can be used for travel in the EU and return to Great Britain for up to four months. Book your vet early, check all paperwork and prepare your cat with a safe carrier, water and calm travel conditions. Never leave a cat in a hot car.
