Export health certificate (EHC) for pet travel to Brazil

Planning to relocate or travel to Brazil with your cat or dog? Taking pets from Great Britain to Brazil requires a specialized Export Health Certificate (EHC) completed by an Official Veterinarian. The Vaccine Vet provides dedicated mobile veterinary certification across Liverpool and Merseyside to help you navigate Brazilian import regulations smoothly.

Brazil export health certificates explained

Exporting dogs or cats to Brazil (MAPA guidelines) requires strict adherence to veterinary and documentary rules. Here is what your pet needs before flying to Brazil:

  • ISO 11784/11785 compliant microchip implanted prior to rabies vaccination
  • Valid rabies vaccination (administered at least 21 days prior for primary shots)
  • Broad-spectrum internal and external parasite treatments administered within the official pre-export window
  • Pre-travel clinical examination and an official EHC issued and endorsed prior to departure

Brazil requires an official veterinary certificate demonstrating freedom from infectious diseases and specific parasite treatments. As an Official Veterinarian (OV), I manage the documentation accurately to avoid delays at Brazilian border control.

Planning ahead for Brazil travel

Brazil requires precise veterinary treatments within tight timeframes (often within 15 to 30 days of entry for treatments, and health inspections close to departure).

Frequently asked questions

What is an Export Health Certificate (EHC) for Brazil?

An Export Health Certificate (EHC) for Brazil is an official document issued by an Official Veterinarian (OV) appointed by the UK government. It confirms that your dog or cat meets Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply (MAPA) health requirements, including microchipping, rabies immunisation, parasite treatments, and general fitness to travel.

What are the key veterinary requirements for pets entering Brazil?

To enter Brazil from the UK, your pet must have:

  • A microchip meeting ISO standards (11784/11785).
  • A valid rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before travel for primary vaccines.
  • Certified broad-spectrum internal and external parasite treatments administered by a vet within the designated pre-travel window.
  • A clinical health exam showing no signs of contagious or infectious diseases.

How far in advance should I start preparing for travel to Brazil?

We strongly recommend starting the preparation at least 1 to 2 months before your planned flight. If your pet needs a new rabies vaccine, at least 21 days must elapse before travel. Furthermore, Defra EHC application timelines and specific parasite administration windows must be strictly scheduled.

Do I need to be registered with The Vaccine Vet?

No, you do not need to be a previously registered client. We regularly assist pet owners and breeders across Liverpool and Merseyside with export certifications and travel documentation. Simply contact us with your pet's veterinary history.

Does my pet need to be physically examined?

Yes, your pet must be physically examined by the Official Veterinarian prior to signing the EHC. This includes verifying the microchip number, conducting a general health examination, and ensuring your pet is fit for international transport.
