We've learned so much about international pet travel, and we're here to share our tips and experiences to make your adventures with your furry friends as smooth and joyful as ours.

Preparing for international pet travel

Traveling abroad with your beloved pets requires careful planning, but it's entirely doable! Based on our experiences with Rhubarb and Custard, we've identified key steps to ensure a stress-free journey. Always start by visiting both the .gov.uk website and the website of your destination country to understand all entry requirements. This due diligence is crucial for a smooth process.

Essential steps for your pet's journey

Before you embark, make sure your pet is microchipped, which is often a mandatory requirement. A rabies vaccination is almost always necessary for international travel, so schedule this well in advance. You will also need an animal health certificate from an authorized veterinarian. Additionally, check specific regulations regarding tapeworm treatment, as some countries require this shortly before entry. We recommend locating a vet both in your home country and at your destination.

Travel with confidence

Our goal is for you to feel confident and well-prepared for traveling with your pets. By sharing our experiences with Rhubarb and Custard – from bustling airports to scenic walks abroad – we hope to demystify the process and highlight the joy pet travel brings. We're here to answer your questions and help you navigate the journey, so you too can create unforgettable memories with your furry companions. Safe travels with your pups!
