There is no requirement for clients to be already registered with The Vaccine Vet in order to use my services. I am happy to assist all clients, particularly with the provision of Animal Health Certificates (AHCs) in Wirral.

In fact, many local veterinary practices kindly recommend my services. Please be assured that you are very welcome to book with me, even if you are not registered at my practice

Booking an Animal Health Certificate is a straightforward process and involves a few important steps:

1. Plan in Advance
   Please ensure your travel is planned ahead of time. At least 21 days must have passed after the rabies vaccination before leaving the country. An Animal Health Certificate cannot be issued before this 21-day period has elapsed.
2. Confirm Your Travel Route
   Your intended travel route and port of entry into Europe must be known in advance, as these details are essential for issuing the certificate correctly
3. Rabies Vaccination Records
   If your pet’s rabies vaccination was not administered by The Vaccine Vet, please contact the veterinary practice that provided it and ask them to forward the full clinical records, including proof of rabies vaccination, to:
   enquiries@thevaccinevet.co.uk

Once the clinical records have been received and the booking form has been submitted, I aim to contact you within 24 hours to arrange a suitable date and time to meet for the Animal Health Certificate appointment

Yes, your pet must be present at the appointment.

For an Animal Health Certificate to be issued, I am required to physically examine your pet on the day. This includes checking your pet’s microchip, confirming their identity, and ensuring they are clinically fit to travel.

Please make sure you bring:

• Your pet with you

• Any relevant documentation (if advised in advance)

This examination is a legal requirement and, unfortunately, an Animal Health Certificate cannot be issued without your pet being present.

Please feel free to get in touch if you would like help choosing the most suitable option.

For an Animal Health Certificate to be issued, it is a legal requirement that the pet’s owner, who is also the person travelling with the pet, is present to sign the certificate in person.

If this will not be the case, please let me know in advance, as this may affect whether the Animal Health Certificate can be provided.

Good question! Cats do not require a tapeworm treatment before travel.

For dogs leaving the UK, tapeworm treatment is only required for travel to the following countries:  Ireland, Finland, Norway, and Malta.

The treatment must be administered by a veterinary surgeon and correctly recorded on the Animal Health Certificate. This is a service I do provide and can be arrange at time of the appointment.
