Pet travel requirements: Taking your pet abroad on holiday

Taking your cat or dog on holiday with you means you don’t have to be parted with your much-loved pet while you’re away, and it can avoid the worry of deciding who is going to care for them during your break.

To ensure you have a smooth, stress-free trip, it’s important to plan ahead to make sure you have all the correct paperwork in place for your pet by the time you’re due to travel.

It’s also a great idea to do some research so you’re up to speed on any relevant laws affecting pets in the country you’re going to and are aware of any potential health risks your pet may be exposed to while abroad.
