Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is a pet passport?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">A pet passport is an official document that includes a record of all the treatments your pet has had. It allows animals to travel abroad to certain countries via Eurotunnel and ferries under the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bva.co.uk\/News-campaigns-and-policy\/Policy\/Companion-animals\/Pet-travel\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Pet Travel Scheme<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\">.

In order to apply, you\u2019ll need to take your dog\u2019s vaccination and other medical records with you. If your vet doesn\u2019t issue pet passports, they\u2019ll be able to give you the details of one that does. In order to leave and re-enter the UK, you\u2019ll need to make sure your dog:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Has been microchipped<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Is older than 15 weeks at the time of travelling<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Is vaccinated against rabies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:400\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Has been treated for tapeworm<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> Chat to your vet about the timelines needed for vaccinations and treatments.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:400\">Some countries that aren\u2019t listed under the Pet Travel Scheme can be more complicated to travel to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Before you go, check to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.defra.gov.uk\/wildlife-pets\/pets\/travel\/pets\/countries\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">see if your destination is listed&nbsp;<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\">so you can make any specific preparations that might be required.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re heading abroad with your canine companion this year, one of the things on your holiday checklist should be your dog\u2019s pet passport.
