Flying pets from Israel to England:
* It is not possible to fly a dog/cat directly from Israel to England with the owner, neither in the cabin nor in the hold
A cargo flight is required, which is a flight without an owner
To get around this, you can fly through Europe with the owner (fly to Europe and from there continue by car to England)
Time to prepare a dog/cat for a flight to England:
Between 3 and a half to 4 and a half months (depending on the dog/cat’s vaccination status)
Step 1: International 15-digit microchip
The microchip must be inserted before the rabies vaccination or on the day of the rabies vaccination
*A microchip inserted after the rabies vaccination will invalidate the vaccination given before and must be vaccinated with an additional vaccination
Step 2: Rabies vaccination
*Puppies: 2 rabies vaccinations one month apart
Adult dogs, it is enough to have a valid rabies vaccination (one year)
Step 3: Blood test for rabies antibodies
The test is done a month or more after the vaccination Rabies (as long as the rabies vaccine is valid)
* You must wait 3 months from the date of the blood test before you can fly
Step 4: Prepare all the documents required for preparing a health certificate
Sign the health certificate at the district veterinarian 5 days before the flight
*Deworming must be done at the stage of signing the documents
