• 4 step Guide to Your Pets Passport!

    • The Microchip

      Your pet must first be fitted with an identification microchip by your vet. Ask the vet to check that the identification number can be read before and after it has been fitted. Have the vet read the microchip every time you visit.

    • The Rabies Vaccination

      Pets must be vaccinated after a microchip has been fitted. If your pet was vaccinated before the microchip was fitted, it will have to be vaccinated again. This is to make sure that it is correctly identified when vaccinated.

      N.B. Booster vaccinations

      After your pet has been vaccinated and blood tested with a satisfactory result, it will need booster vaccinations. If the booster date is missed, your pet will have to be vaccinated and blood tested again. The 6 month rule will apply from the date the new blood sample is taken, provided the result is satisfactory.

    • The Blood Test

      After being vaccinated, your pet must have a blood test to make sure that the vaccine has worked. Your pet requires only one satisfactory blood test and 6 calendar months wait provided the subsequent rabies booster vaccinations are given by the required date. If your pet fails its blood test it must be blood tested again. Your vet will advise if it first needs to be revaccinated. The 6 month rule will apply.

    • Documentation

      After your pet has passed its blood test you must get an EU pet passport or a third country official veterinary certificate (for pets in non-EU listed countries not issuing passports).

  • How to get a passport

    In Great Britain, the passport is issued by a Local Veterinarian Inspector (LVI). Your vet will be able to tell you where the nearest one works. When you go to get the passport, take your pet, its vaccination record and blood test result. These documents must show your pet’s microchip number. Also take evidence of the date your pet was microchipped.

  • Their own holiday Kennel Guide

  • Park Kennels
    • Kennels have been designed by a leading expert in pet care to create minimum stress and maximum contentment for dogs. They are 7ft by 15ft (213cm by 457 cm) in total space, divided into a sleep and exercise area with areas of privacy so that they can hide away if they want to.
    • The sleep areas have underfloor heating and the exercise runs are fully covered. The unique design of our kennels allows dogs to access their exercise area both day and night.
    • Bars have been kept to a minimum, with full height block work, decorated in bright colours with a specially designed glass door which opens onto a large, bright central corridor allowing both the dogs to see us and each other but also for us to keep a close eye on them too.
