Cut the cost of pet travel by seeking to rejoin the EU pet passport scheme. This does not require EU membership; Norway, Switzerland and Andorra are members, as is NI. The scheme allows vaccinated pets to travel freely without needing expensive documentation every time.

When owners could get pet passports in GB, our microchipped and vaccinated pets could travel free of extra certification to the EU, and return freely (with particular requirements for tapeworm treatment for dogs). GB leaving the scheme has added admin costs of about £100+ for EVERY trip to the EU. It costs time and money to get the required paperwork every time.

Government response

The Government is working toward a deal with the EU that will improve and streamline pet travel for GB pet owners to and from the EU. This will make taking pets to the EU easier and cheaper.
