How to Get a Pet Passport

Travelling abroad with your dog or cat? We make it simple. Visit our step-by-step guide: Top Tips on How to Get a Pet Passport in Ireland.

In Ireland, pet passports are issued by your local vet once your pet meets certain travel requirements such as microchipping and rabies vaccination. At Cara Vet Group, we guide you through the process and make sure your paperwork meets all regulations for safe, stress-free travel.

Rabies Vaccination – What You Need to Know

Before you can travel, your pet must receive a Rabies Vaccine at least 21 days before departure (the day of vaccination is day 0). Your pet must also be microchipped before or on the same day as their rabies vaccination. Book your rabies vaccination appointment online now.

Travelling Outside the EU?

For travel to destinations such as the USA, Canada, Australia, or the Middle East, additional steps like rabies titre tests and export health certificates are required.
