What an AHC costs
£95 to 110 for the first dog
- You need a new AHC for every trip from Great Britain to the EU, and you have to enter the EU within 10 days of it being issued.
- It then covers 6 months of travel around the EU and 6 months to come home on.
- Book at least a week ahead. Inside 72 hours to 7 days, even the cheap providers charge £150 to £250.
- None of these prices include the rabies jab or microchip. Get those done first, then wait 21 days.
