The rabies vaccination must be at least 21 days old and valid for 1 year at the time of entry into the U.K. if your pet is coming from a low-risk rabies country. If your pet is coming from a high-risk rabies country, the vaccine must be at least 30 days old and remain valid for 1 year at the time of the final health check before departure.

Note: If your pet was microchipped after their most recent rabies vaccine, they will need to have another rabies vaccine administered to be compliant for entry into the United Kingdom.

While general vaccinations are not mandatory for pets traveling from low-risk rabies countries to the United Kingdom, they are strongly recommended to ensure your pet's safety and well-being during their travels. If your pet is coming from a high-risk rabies country, the general vaccinations must be at least 30 days old and valid for 12 months at the time of the final health check before departure.
