Before you can apply for an AHC, you will need to make sure your pet has an up to date rabies vaccination and is microchipped. Don’t worry, our veterinarians are available to provide this service if needed.
To arrange for an AHC, you can book your appointment online.
If you want to travel with your pet outside the EU, you will need a pet export health certificate. The requirements for EHCs vary significantly depending upon the destination country. If you’re unsure whether your destination requires an EHC, feel free to contact us—we’re happy to advise.
An Export Health Certificate is required for pet travel to non-EU countries.

To qualify for the 10-day quarantine, you will need to complete two official OV66 identity checks, which specially authorised veterinarians must carry out.
Planning is essential for pet travel to Australia, especially with the 180 – 365 day timeframe required for ID checks.
At E&J, we’re here to help you every step of the way—from your pet’s first ID check performed by our vets who hold OV66 authorisation to their final travel documentation.
These identity checks confirm your pet’s identity and reduce the risk of fraud or error. Two separate ID checks by different OV66 vets at different practices are mandatory.
E&J can provide the first ID check and/or the second ID check.
Our Fitness to Travel certificate service costs £60. If issued alongside a Health Certificate, the cost is £50.
Some airlines require a Fit to Fly certificate for long haul journeys

What is an Animal Health Certificate (AHC)? 
Previously known as a pet passport, an Animal Health Certificate is issued by an Official Veterinarian (OV) to allow pets to travel from GB to the EU, Switzerland, Norway and Northern Ireland for non-commercial reasons.
It is a bilingual document completed in English and the official language of the port of entry.
You can book your appointment online now.
What if I'm travelling outside the EU?
You will require an Export Health Certificate if you wish to travel with your pet to a non-EU country, if pets are travelling more than 5 days apart from you, their owner or if your pets are travelling for commercial reasons.
There are over 300 different pet EHCs and the requirements vary greatly depending on the destination; because of this, each EHC is priced differently.
Regardless of your travel plans, we are always happy to provide advice.
Will I need a Fitness to Travel certificate?
Fitness to Travel or “Fit to Fly” certificates are often required by airlines for long haul flights. You should check with your airline whether you will require a Fitness to Travel certificate for your journey.
We are happy to provide a Fit to Fly certificate at a reasonable cost of £60 for a standalone Fit to Fly certificate or £50 when issued alongside an Animal Health Certificate or Export Health Certificate.
