Using Your Pet Passport - Going Away
You must make sure to use an approved carrier/ route and always check with the consulate of the country to which you are travelling that the basic EU pet passport is all that is required. Getting to the airport and finding out that you needed an additional certificate is a great way to ruin a holiday.
