🐾✈️ How to Get an Pet Passport for Your Furry Friend! 🐶🐱
Getting a pet passport is a crucial step if you plan to travel abroad with your furry friend. Here are the simple steps to ensure your furry companion is ready for international travel:
🟢Visit Your Vet for the Pet Passport: Visit us well in advance of your trip.
🟢Microchipping: Your pet must be microchipped and registered on an Irish microchip database. This is a requirement for identification purposes. The microchip must be implanted before the rabies vaccine can be administered.
🟢Your Vet will issue your Pet’s Passport: Your vet will fill out the necessary details, including the microchip number, vaccination dates, and other essential health information.
🟢Rabies Vaccination: This vaccination must be done at least 30 days before travel. If your pet has had a rabies vaccination before, ensure it is still valid and that the booster shots are up-to-date.
🟢Additional Treatments (if required): Depending on the destination country, additional treatments such as tapeworm treatment may be required. Ensure you check the specific requirements for your travel destination and have these treatments recorded in the passport.
Please keep in mind that it is not the responsibility of your vet to know the rules for every country. The best course of action is to consult official resources, such as government websites well in advance of your trip.
With these steps, your furry friend will be all set for their adventure abroad! 🌍🐾 If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to drop by our clinic or give us a call. Safe travels! 🐶✈️🐱
