Taking a dog to the UK: pet travel documents to organize

UK entry rules change. Typical items include a microchip, rabies vaccination timed to the route, and tapeworm treatment for dogs. Confirm the current GOV.UK and carrier pages before you fly.

• Microchip before the rabies vaccine in most cases.
• Dogs often need tapeworm treatment in a specific window before arrival.
• Use the policy checker for airline crate and cabin rules, then verify with the carrier.
