Pet entering Northern Ireland from Great Britain — NI Pet Travel Scheme (pet travel document)
Health certificate: DAERA: travelling from Great Britain to Northern Ireland needs no Animal Health Certificate — the pet travel document covers the journey. An AHC IS still needed if the pet continues onward to Ireland or another EU country, and that certificate is valid 10 days for entry and 6 months for onward EU travel.
Tollwutimpfung: From Great Britain, Northern Ireland is reached under the NI Pet Travel Scheme, not the EU entry regime. GOV.UK: with a Northern Ireland pet travel document (PTD) the pet must be microchipped but does NOT need a rabies vaccination. The PTD is free and lifelong, applied for from the Animal and Plant Health Agency. The base requirement on this page is the EU regime, which applies to arrivals from outside the United Kingdom.
Tapeworm treatment: GOV.UK: a dog travelling from Great Britain to Northern Ireland on a pet travel document does NOT need tapeworm treatment. The 24-to-120-hour tapeworm window on the base requirement applies to arrivals from outside the United Kingdom, for which Northern Ireland counts as an EU destination.
