Microchips
In order to identify your dog, cat or ferret, it must be fitted with a microchip. At check-in, we’ll need to check that your pet’s microchip number matches the microchip number on their documentation.
A tattoo from any country in the world is acceptable, as long as it was done before 3 July 2011.
When your vet is completing your pet’s official travel documents, make sure the date of implantation or the date of reading of the microchip is on or before the date of your pet’s rabies vaccination.
Your pet (who must be at least 12 weeks old at time of vaccination) must be vaccinated against rabies. There is no exemption to this requirement.
The vaccine name and manufacturer, as well as vaccination date, valid from and expiry dates must be recorded in the AHC or EU Pet Passport by a registered vet (signature and stamp or vet details are mandatory) in the relevant boxes in Rabies Section of the EU Pet Passport or AHC.
There is no exemption to this requirement. If you are travelling from EU and listed non-EU countries, the length of the waiting period before entry to the UK is 21 days after the vaccination date (the vaccination date counts as day 0). A waiting period is not required for subsequent entries into the UK, provided rabies boosters are kept up to date and recorded in your pet’s official documentation. If the vaccination is in two parts the 21 day wait will be from the date of the second vaccination.
Travel to/from the EU must take place within the current vaccination validity.
When the vet is completing your pet’s official travel documents (AHC or EU Pet Passport), make sure the date of implantation or date of reading of the microchip is the same date as, or before, the rabies vaccination.

Communication with Lucia to set up the drive from Paris CDG to our destination in the UK was outstanding, fast, and clear. She was very kind as well! On the day of arrival, Hashmat picked us up with our two cats, and drove us through the Chunnel, he knew exactly what to do at the border which made everything even easier. They made everything super simple and stress free! Forever thankful!
What a wonderful experience we had travelling with our rescue dog Leia to the UK. The team were incredibly helpful from the moment we made our enquiry. Our driver, Julius was such a kind, attentive and friendly driver and looked after us every step of the way. We can't recommend them highly enough.
If you are looking for a flawless, top-tier pet transport service, you really cannot choose better than Elite Pets. From start to finish, the care, professionalism, and warmth we experienced were second to none, and we could not be happier with our journey. Travelling with pets—alongside a baby and a toddler—from France to our home in the Midlands could easily have been an incredibly stressful experience, but Marcel and Lucia made the entire journey seamless, calm, and reassuring. Right from our very first enquiry, Lucia was wonderful. She was extraordinarily helpful, quick to respond, and kept our minds completely at ease. When the travel day arrived, Marcel, our driver, was exceptionally punctual and immediately stepped in to help us load all our luggage. Both Lucia and Marcel were incredibly thorough in checking our pet documentation beforehand, ensuring every single detail was in order so we didn't face any issues at crossing. Marcel was absolute perfection on the road—unfailingly professional, patient, and thoughtful. He was more than happy to make stops whenever we needed them for the children and the dog, which made a world of difference to us. Furthermore, their vehicle is top-notch: spacious, clean, and extremely comfortable for a long journey with a young family. We could not be more grateful for their outstanding care and hospitality. If you need a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet transport service, look no further than Elite Pets. Thank you so much, Lucia and Marcel!
Perfect Service for People and Pets Travelling Internationally! This was my second time using Elite Pet Taxi, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly! I travelled with my cat, Oncho, from South Korea to the UK, so finding a reliable pet transport service was incredibly important. Marek picked us up in Paris in a fully equipped car and drove so smoothly that Oncho slept comfortably for most of the journey! Even when LeShuttle was delayed, Marek remained calm and flexible. He was also highly knowledgeable about border procedures, which was incredibly reassuring. A huge thank you to Lucia as well! When my London moving arrangements became complicated at the last minute, she patiently explained my options and quickly helped rearrange everything, even while she was away on a family holiday. She was genuinely lovely and helpful throughout! I also really appreciated Elite Pet Taxi’s transparent pricing, with no unnecessary fees or unpleasant surprises. Having used them before, I knew I could trust them and didn’t feel the need to contact any other companies. Thank you so much to Marek and Lucia for making what could have been a stressful journey so smooth! I wouldn’t hesitate to use Elite Pet Taxi again and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone travelling internationally with their pets!
I had a wonderful experience with Elite Pet Taxi and Marek in particular on what is probably one of the most stressful days I have had driving from Paris to London after a long flight from Miami. Marek was in communication from before take off, waiting for me upon arrival and super attentive the whole trip making sure me and my pup were comfortable and happy. His driving was smooth and everything was timed perfectly. Taking this service with someone experienced with the process and the route made such a difference and turned it into a truly calm experience. To add- Lucía, who helped me organize the transport was also kind and informative and made me feel more at ease as well. Thank you to the whole team!
