Thanks plenty to everyone who's contributed their two cents to this thread! I've spoken to my friend...

Microchip - Check
Vet's certificate - Check
Pet Passport - Check
Rabies shots - Check
Travel "crate" - Check (he's been sleeping in it for the past month... voluntarily of course)
Familiar toy, old clothes, blankets etc for a more comfortable transition - Check

Did I miss anything? Should be alright to come into Switzerland as well as enter UK right?

If I'm right, then all that's left to do now is on my end... letter to apartment agency... finding an English speaking vet in Bern... Finding out dog license/registration info etc...

ps. Lob Rockster, I'm sure your "killar dogs" are wonderful companions!
