✨ Pet Travel has Changed ✨
“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.”
This means that all Pets travelling to the EU must have an AHC issued by an Official Veterinarian 🩺
