Your pet needs to have been microchipped and to have had a rabies vaccination. The rabies vaccination needs to have been administered at least 21 days before your appointment with the vet who is issuing the AHC, and you will need a document showing proof of the rabies vaccination. The rabies vaccination does not have to be administered by the vet that issues the AHC - any vet can administer this. The proof of rabies document can be in the form of a vaccination card, a vaccination certificate, an old pet passport, or your pet's clinical history from your vet. The routine, annual vaccinations are not required to travel to the EU, however we would advise to keep these up to date anyway.
