So Why Use Professionals to Transport My Dog from Scotland to Spain
Planning to transport your dog from Scotland to Spain? Whether you’re relocating permanently or travelling for an extended stay, getting your pet there safely and legally takes some preparation. Using a professional pet taxi service can make the process smooth, stress-free, and fully compliant with travel rules.
Essential Travel Documents
Before setting off, make sure your dog has all the correct documents. These must be in order before entry into Spain is allowed:
- Microchip: Your dog must be microchipped with an ISO-compliant chip before the rabies vaccine is given.
- Rabies Vaccination: Spain requires a valid rabies vaccination administered at least 21 days before travel.
- Animal Health Certificate (AHC): A vet-issued AHC must be completed within 10 days of departure.
- Tapeworm Treatment: Although Spain doesn’t require tapeworm treatment, if you’re returning to the UK, this must be done 24–120 hours before re-entry.
These steps help ensure that your dog can travel legally and without delays at the border.
Getting Your Dog Ready for the Journey
- Let your dog get used to their travel crate well before the journey.
- Pack their favourite toy or blanket to make them feel secure.
- Avoid feeding a large meal just before departure to prevent motion sickness.
- Carry water, food, travel bowls, leads, poo bags, and any medication.
- Make sure your dog is well exercised before collection.
Travelling with a professional service also ensures they’ll get regular comfort stops and careful monitoring throughout.
