Pet Passport
Important information on behalf of Defra
Defra has asked us to bring the following information to your attention:
To make sure pets are able to travel from the UK to the EU after Brexit, pet owners should contact their vet at least four months before travelling to get the latest advice. Those wishing to travel to the EU on or immediately after 31 October 2019 would need to discuss requirements with their vet by the end of June at the latest.
Breeders are advised to check the latest pet travel guidance to ensure you know how to prepare for travel with a pet in any scenario.
If the UK leaves the EU with no agreement in place and becomes an unlisted third country, health and documentation requirements will change under the EU Pet Travel Scheme. Pet owners would need to ensure that their pet has a microchip, an up-to-date rabies vaccination and a blood test to demonstrate sufficient levels of rabies antibody. The blood test needs to be carried out a minimum of 30 days after its last rabies vaccination (whether that’s a booster or initial vaccination) and a minimum of three calendar months before travel. A current EU pet passport issued in the UK would not be valid for travel to the EU. Instead, pet owners would need to apply for an Animal Health Certificate no more than 10 days before their date of travel.
Until the UK leaves the EU, pets can continue to travel to EU Member States under the current pet travel rules using the current EU pet passport.
