Pre-travel vet care and boarding, in the right order
Microchips, vaccinations, tests and health certificates have to happen in a set sequence and within strict time windows. We coordinate each veterinary step with established providers, and arrange boarding when your pet needs somewhere safe to stay before the flight.
- IATA accredited since 1999
- IPATA member since 2012
- In-house customs clearance
Sequence mattersA microchip implanted after the rabies vaccine can invalidate the vaccination for many routes.
Service overview
Two kinds of support, one coordinated plan
Use both, or only the part you need. Many owners keep their regular veterinarian and use us to make sure every requirement is covered and timed correctly.
Veterinary preparation
Getting your pet’s health records ready for export and import.
- ISO-compatible microchip, implanted or verified before the rabies vaccine
- Rabies and other vaccinations required for your destination
- Rabies titre blood test, where your route requires one
- Parasite treatments and examinations the destination asks for
- Health certificate and official endorsement close to departure
Pet boarding
A safe place for your pet while you move house or travel ahead.
- Boarding through established pet-care providers
- Familiar food and routine kept as far as possible
- Veterinary access through the provider if it is needed
- Transfers between home, boarding, the vet and the airport
- Updates for you while your pet is in boarding
Typical timeline
How the veterinary steps fit together
The order below is common to many routes. Timings differ by destination, so your consultant sets the actual dates for your move.
First
Microchip
Implanted, or an existing chip read and recorded, before the rabies vaccination.
Next
Rabies vaccination
Given on or after the microchip date. Many routes require the pet to be at least 12 weeks old.
At least 30 days later
Titre test if required
For routes such as the UK and EU, a blood sample is taken at least 30 days after vaccination.
As the route requires
Destination-specific treatments
Other vaccinations, parasite treatments or tests the destination asks for, within their time windows.
Days before travel
Health certificate and endorsement
Issued close to departure and endorsed by the relevant authority. Validity windows are short, so timing is planned around your flight.
Boarding
When boarding makes a move easier
Moving day is busy and unsettling for pets. Boarding keeps your dog or cat away from packing and removals, and is useful when the flight date and your own departure do not line up.
We arrange boarding with established pet-care providers and plan transfers so your pet arrives at the airport on time and calm.
- While your home is being packed and cleared
- When you travel ahead and your pet follows
- Between a vet appointment and an early-morning flight

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your answer? Ask us on WhatsApp or through the enquiry form, and your consultant will reply.
Can my own veterinarian do the work?
Usually, yes. Many owners prefer their regular vet. We explain exactly what is needed and when, and coordinate the steps that need an official or government-authorised veterinarian, such as certificate endorsement.
Why does the microchip have to come first?
Many destinations only accept a rabies vaccination given on or after the date the microchip was implanted, so the vaccine can be linked to your pet. If the order is wrong, the vaccination and any titre test may need to be repeated.
When is the health certificate issued?
Close to departure, because certificates are only valid for a short period. For example, the EU and the US CDC each set their own validity rules, so the date is planned around your flight.
Which vaccinations does my pet need?
Rabies vaccination is required by most destinations. Some also ask for other vaccinations, parasite treatments or tests. We confirm the list for your route and your pet’s species.
Can my pet stay in boarding until the flight?
Yes. We can arrange boarding with an established provider and plan the transfer to the airport, so your pet is ready for check-in.
Is veterinary care available during boarding?
Boarding providers we work with have veterinary access if your pet needs attention. Let us know about any medication or health conditions when you enquire.
