Animal Health Certificates

Thanks for choosing Blenheim Veterinary Centre to provide you with the travel documents required for your pets.  In order for us to complete the Animal Health Certificate (AHC) correctly, we need the following information from you.

Please complete and submit this form at least 48 hours before you require an appointment.  We are unable to book a consultation until we’ve received a completed form.  On the day of your appointment please bring:

• Proof of identification of your pet
• Proof of your pet’s rabies vaccination

If you have a Pet Passport for your pet that was issued before 31/12/2020 this will suffice. If you do not have a Pet Passport for your pet then please bring your vaccination card that shows the current rabies vaccination, and a document confirming your pet has been microchipped. If you have any problems obtaining these documents please contact:

Pet Travel Scheme helpline: pettravel@apha.gov.uk

Telephone: 0370 241 1710 (Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.00pm (closed on bank holidays).  These details could change, so if you cannot get through, please contact the surgery for up to date details.

Be aware that this consultation with your pet can take up to 45 minutes to complete and the person travelling with the pet MUST attend the consultation.

The AHC needs to be completed within 10 days of travel and a Rabies vaccination (if required) needs to be administered at least 21 days before an AHC can be issued.  Please also confirm the point of entry into the EU and all countries that you may be travelling through so that we have full information to enable us to complete the form correctly.

If the date of travel changes you must inform the Practice immediately so that we can re-arrange the consultation.

Please complete the following in full.
