Pet travel
Vets for pet travel certificates
To take a pet abroad, you need a health certificate signed by an Official Veterinarian. For the EU and Northern Ireland it is usually an animal health certificate (AHC). For other countries it is usually an export health certificate (EHC). Not every practice has an Official Veterinarian.
These practices are on APHA's list of certifiers for pets. Practices join that list by asking, so many that sign certificates are not on it. Ask your own vet first.

Before you book
Most certificates have to be signed close to your travel date, so book early. Ask whether the practice can certify for your destination, and what to bring. The rules differ by country.
