"Before Brexit, taking a cat, dog or ferret to the EU was relatively simple: the Pet Travel Scheme meant an animal needed a microchip, vaccination against rabies, a pet passport and, for dogs, there were also requirements concerning tapeworm treatment."
"Dr David Nicholl, a consultant neurologist in Hagley, Worcestershire, has an EU pet passport for his jack russell, Lily, noting it was much cheaper than an AHC."
"Dr Elizabeth Mullineaux, the senior vice-president of the British Veterinary Association, says EU guidance states that the European pet passport for dogs, cats and ferrets is only issued to pet owners who are resident in the EU."
Traveling with pets from Great Britain to the EU has become more complicated and costly since Brexit. The Pet Travel Scheme has been replaced by the animal health certificate (AHC), which must be issued within 10 days of entry and is valid for four months. Some pet owners are reportedly obtaining EU pet passports to bypass AHC requirements, but experts caution that this could lead to issues, as these passports are intended for EU residents only.
