Preparing your pet
|
|
| Step 1 |
|
|
|
| My pet has been microchipped |
 |
| I have a microchip reader (only if the microchip is not ISO Standard) |
 |
| The microchip can be read |
|
|
|
| Step 2 |
|
|
|
| My pet was vaccinated in accordance with the recommendation of the manufacturer's data sheet. |
|
| It was vaccinated after it was fitted with a microchip |
|
| The microchip number has been entered correctly by the vet on the vaccination record and passport |
|
|
|
| Step 3 |
|
|
|
| I have a record from the vet of the date the blood sample was taken, showing the correct microchip number. The blood sample was taken after the vaccination. |
|
| My pet has had a satisfactory blood test at an EU-approved laboratory |
|
| I have a certified copy of the blood test result showing the correct microchip number and the date the blood sample was taken |
|
|
|
| Step 4 |
|
|
|
| A vet has correctly filled in all the details in sections I-V of the EU pet passport |
|
| The passport will be valid for entry to the UK on the date of arrival (i.e. at least 6 calendar months from the date a blood sample was taken from my pet that gave a satisfactory test result) |
|
|
|
| Step 5 |
|
|
|
| A vet has treated my pet for ticks and tapeworms 24 – 48 hours before it will be checked-in with an approved transport company for its journey into the UK |
|
| The vet has correctly filled in sections VI and VII of the passport |
|
|
|
| Travelling to the UK |
|
|
|
| I have arranged for my pet to travel to the UK using an approved transport company and route |
|
| If my pet is entering quarantine, I have obtained an import licence from Defra, Scottish Government or DARD before travelling. |
