• Background color: Grey or white.
• Clearly displays the pet’s characteristics.

Key Details

• First, state your name, complete address, telephone number, and signature.
• Provide the description of your pet including its name, breed, species, sex, birthday, color, and other notable features.
• Additionally, you have to include the microchip information of your pet. This includes the code, date of application, location, and others.
• You also have to include the information of the pet’s veterinarian. Fill out their name, address, telephone number, email address, etc.

How much Does it Cost?

A typical EU pet passport photo costs around £15 for 6 pictures. For an US dog passport, the price can range from $145 up to $575. This depends on the vet fee, pet species, point and destination of travel, and others. Unfortunately, it is hard to determine the exact day you can get your dog and cat passport. Several factors are considered like appointments and getting all the certificates needed.
