Dog Passport Cost
If you’re trying to figure out the dog passport cost ahead of a trip abroad, there are a couple of things worth knowing. First, UK dog passports are no longer valid for travel to EU countries since Brexit. Second, the good news – the replacement document, an Animal Health Certificate, starts from just £69 with our AHC Online Service.
How much does a dog passport cost now?
The dog passport as UK owners once knew it no longer exists for EU travel. In its place, every trip abroad with your dog requires a fresh Animal Health Certificate, issued by a qualified Official Veterinarian. While that might sound like an added expense, the reality is that many dog owners are caught off guard by just how affordable the process is. At £69, our AHCs are among the most competitively priced in the UK — and there are no hidden costs or surprises along the way.
Service that justifies the price
Being the original low-cost provider of Animal Health Certificates in the UK has never meant compromising on service. Every AHC we issue is prepared by an experienced Official Veterinarian and meets all the requirements for international pet travel. You get a professional, reliable service at a price that makes sense — which is exactly why veterinary surgeries and professionals across the UK regularly point their clients our way.
health certificates I was worried that this would be a difficult service to navigate but Abbeywell made sure everything went smoothly. We were travelling with two cats and two dogs. Everything was great and very quick. All went well at the channel tunnel. Delighted thank you
Travelling abroad with pets can be stressful, but Dan and Mike always make the whole process straightforward. Their professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail give us complete confidence that everything has been prepared correctly, and we’ve never had any issues.
A huge thank you to Dan, Mike, and the whole team. We wouldn’t go anywhere else for our AHCs and highly recommend Abbeywell Vets to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and reliable veterinary practice.
