At this time of year, we start to notice lots of posts circulating social media regarding rapeseed; these posts are shared extensively and can understandably worry many dog owners. The posts usually state that rapeseed is highly poisonous to dogs, and can cause signs including haemolytic anaemia, blindness, damaged nervous system, digestive disorders and breathing problems.

The signs mentioned are typically only seen in grazing animals, and most dogs actually remain asymptomatic after exposure to rapeseed. Dogs can develop gastrointestinal upset if they have ingested some of the plant, and there have been reports of skin reactions which resemble burns, but this is extremely rare and does not happen to every dog which comes into contact with it.

It’s hard to look at a lump and know if it is cancerous or not. Often clients choose to monitor their pet’s lump if they don’t want to test it. We now offer an additional service using our new VistaIQ machine, which can screen lumps in 40 seconds and can give you more peace of mind in knowing whether monitoring or testing is the right way forward.

*IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR PET TRAVEL*
This update relates to people who use an EU pet passport rather than an AHC for travel.

The APHA issued new guidelines on 17.4.26 for pet travel to the EU.

‘From 22 April 2026, new EU rules will apply to the non‑commercial movement of
dogs, cats and ferrets entering the EU from third countries such as Great Britain
(GB). Pet owners are advised to check the entry requirements with the relevant
authority in the destination country before travel.

An EU pet passport, issued to or held by a pet owner who is resident in GB, WILL NO
LONGER BE A VALID DOCUMENT for travelling with pets from GB to the EU. This applies
to EU pet passports issued in an EU Member State or Northern Ireland, including those issued before 22 April 2026. EU pet passports may only be issued to owners whose main residence is within the European Union.

GB residents travelling to the EU with a pet dog, cat or ferret will need to obtain an
Animal Health Certificate (AHC) for travel from 22 April 2026.

There are no changes to GB entry requirements.
