All pet owners who would like to holiday with their pet this summer need to start the wheels rolling now, in order to make sure their pet passport comes through in time.
Vicky Watson from Halifax Pet Insurance said: “All owners who are considering taking their pets abroad on holiday should act now. The pet passport process will take six months to complete so by starting the stages now it will allow the pet to accompany the family on holiday in August.”
The passport process will commence with micro-chipping your pet to ensure that the animal's owner is easily identified. The second step is then to have your pet vaccinated against rabies and wormed.
This vaccine must then be certified as effective by a registered vet. It is after this stage that the owners must wait for a period of six months until they can take the animal out of the country.
Not only is it necessary that your pet holds the legal documentation to leave the country, but it is also crucial that the pet is insured. This insurance will cover the animal for vets fees and any unforeseen circumstances that can occur when owning a pet. The amount of cover will reflect the type of cover taken out by the policy holder.
Halifax Pet Insurance is one of the few insurers who offer a policy which covers a pet when it is taken out of the country.
