Cheapest Animal Health Certificate in Central London | 2026 Guide

If you're planning to travel to the EU or Northern Ireland with your dog or cat, one of the first questions you'll probably ask is:

"Where can I get the cheapest Animal Health Certificate in London?"

The answer isn't always straightforward.

Animal Health Certificate (AHC) prices vary considerably between veterinary practices across London. Some clinics advertise a low headline price, while others include additional services, consultations or administrative fees that increase the final cost.

With this guide we try to explain what affects the price of an Animal Health Certificate, what you should expect to receive, and how to find excellent value without compromising on quality or convenience.

How Much Does an Animal Health Certificate Cost in London?

Across London, Animal Health Certificate prices typically range from around £150 to over £300 depending on the veterinary practice, appointment type and what is included.

Factors that influence the price include:

• Whether the appointment is at a clinic or a home visit

• The experience of the Official Veterinarian (OV)

• How much time is required to prepare the documentation

• Whether multiple pets are travelling together

• Evening or weekend appointments

• Additional consultations or health checks

When comparing prices, it's important to check exactly what is included rather than looking only at the advertised fee.

Our AHCs start at £139, and our prices are published online so you can compare costs confidently before making a decision. Since we specialise in travel certificates, our appointments are designed to minimise the amount of time you need to spend on this paperwork, making it super simple for you.
