Hereās Your Pups Official (and Adorable) Exit Plan š¬š§āļøšØš³

By ViolaPets ā your petās personal travel concierge
Planning a big move or a heartfelt reunion? If your fluffy companion is flying from the UK to China, itās not just about packing treats and toys ā itās about paperwork, vaccines, and one serious health certificate.
Yep, weāre talking about the EHC ā Export Health CertificateĀ š©ŗšDonāt worry ā weāll explain everything in plain pup-language š¶āØ
š First Things First: What is an EHC?
The EHC is basically your dogās official "Iām healthy, legal, and ready to fly" passport.Issued by a certified Official Veterinarian (OV)Ā in the UK, it proves your dog:
ā Has a working, ISO-compliant microchip
ā Got their rabies shot and boosterĀ (both still valid!)
ā Is in good health ā no sneezes, no fleas
ā Meets Chinaās very serious (but very fair) pet entry rules
Without it? ā Your pup wonāt be allowed to land. No bones about it.
At ViolaPets, we work with the lovely and experienced Dr. Alex, who knows the process inside out and treats every pet like a VIP (Very Important Pup).
š§³ Your Dogās Travel To-Do List
1ļøā£ Microchip Me, Please
Make sure your pup has a 15-digit ISO chipĀ ā the gold standard for international travel.(Itās like their ID card. No chip = no go.)
2ļøā£ Rabies + Booster = Must-Have
China says: no rabies, no entry. So your dog needs to have had a valid rabies vaccination, and their boosterĀ must still be active at the time of take-off.
š Tip: Not sure if the boosters are still good? Weāll check for you.
3ļøā£ EHC Time!
Schedule a check-up with Dr. Alex, our superstar OV. Heāll examine your dog, fill in the fancy forms (EHC Form 2929), and sign them within 3ā7 days of your flight.
4ļøā£ Home Quarantine (Pyjamas Encouraged)
Surprise! š” China requires a 30-day pre-departure home quarantine. That means your pup must stay on your property, with no close contact with outside animals.
š¾ Dr. Alex can even visit your homeĀ (yes, a house call!) to inspect the space and issue the official quarantine declaration required for EHC approval.

š Don't Skip These Details
š One pup per passenger ā Chinaās rules!
āļø Only certain airports in China accept pets (think: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou...)
š All original documents (EHC, vaccine proof, chip info) must travel with your dog
š Attach copies securely to the crate in a waterproof folder (with kisses, if needed)
