It is issued by an authorised veterinarian to whom you have to provide some documents. Today let’s focus on how to get a pet passport for your cat. Find all the answers you need in the article!
What documents to prepare?
To issue a pet passport for your cat, a veterinarian needs a couple of documents mentioned below:
- vaccination records of your pet
- rabies blood test results, if applicable
- information about your pet’s identity.
Rabies is a dangerous disease for animals, so you need to take some precautions to avoid spreading it in the country you travel to. And vice versa, not to bring it to the United Kingdom from other countries.
How to get a pet passport for your cat?
Having prepared the documents mentioned above, you need to take your pet to a veterinarian who can issue a valid pet passport.

- your contact information
- a clear description of your pet
- vaccination data
- where the chip is implanted.
