- Anyone on a short timeline: about 3 weeks after the rabies vaccine at the earliest.
- Owners of breeds that may be affected by Great Britain's banned dog types.
How the documents work together
Type your departure and arrival dates in the workbook: it checks the 21-day wait after the rabies vaccine, places the certificate inside the 10-day window, fits the tapeworm treatment between 24 and 120 hours before arrival and flags the endorsement deadline. The vet brief, checklist and letters follow the same steps.
