IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR EU TRAVEL WITH PETS
From 22nd April, an EU issued passport may not be valid to travel with your pets.
Please check requirements with APHA before travel.
This applies to people who have an EU (including Northern Ireland) issued passport, but their main residence is in the UK.
This is a very disappointing update as there had been talking of pet passports returning, but it would appear not.
If this applies to you and you have plans for travel, please get in touch to arrange an appointment for an AHC to allow you to travel with your pets. We will do everything we can to accommodate your needs.
This APHA briefing was released on 17th April.
