PET PASSPORT UPDATE
From 22nd April the rules are changing regarding the use of EU issued pet passports. Owners that currently living in the UK and have EU passports for their pets to travel to the EU will no longer be able to use these passports.
The update from APHA is that an owner must reside in the EU to be able to use an EU passport therefore making all, current EU passports for animals living in the UK invalid from 22nd April.
The new guidance states that for any future travel you will instead require an animal health certificate.
We apologise for the short notice, this information has only recently been passed to Vets, and we do our best to help support our clients through this change.
As with all travel please let us know as soon as you can as our Vets need time to organise all the necessary documentation and for any vaccination's, wormers etc to be given.
