What Are the Rules for Pets Entering the UK?
To enter the UK from France, your pet must meet certain health and identification rules. These are checked before travel and again at the UK border.
Each pet must have:
- Microchipping for permanent identification
- A valid rabies vaccination, given at least 21 days before entry
- An Animal Health Certificate, issued by an authorised vet within 10 days of travel
- Tapeworm treatment (for dogs only), administered 24–120 hours before entering the UK
We review your documents in advance to help avoid delays or refusal at the border.
