UK / EU End Animal Health Certificates

As of May 2025, the United Kingdom and the European Union have reached a new agreement that reinstates the EU pet passport scheme for British pet owners traveling to EU countries. This development is part of a broader "Brexit reset" deal aimed at easing post-Brexit travel and trade restrictions. Key Changes for Pet Travel Reintroduction of EU Pet Passports: British pet owners can once again obtain EU pet passports for their cats, dogs, and ferrets. This eliminates the need for an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) for each trip, which previously could cost up to £200 and required issuance within 10 days of travel. Simplified Travel Requirements: With the EU pet passport, pets must be microchipped and have up-to-date rabies vaccinations. The passport is valid for life, provided vaccinations remain current. Additional Treatments: For travel to certain countries like Ireland, Finland, Malta, or Norway, a tapeworm treatment administered 1 to 5 days before entry is still required. Implications for Travelers This reinstatement simplifies the process for British pet owners wishing to travel to EU countries, making it more convenient and cost-effective. It also reflects a broader effort to improve UK-EU relations and reduce post-Brexit travel barriers.
