Brits Face Costly Pitfalls in Traveling to EU with Pets
New post-Brexit rules mean UK pet owners must obtain expensive animal health certificates to take pets to Europe. Experts warn against trying to bypass the system.
In the wake of Britain's departure from the European Union, pet owners from the UK have been issued a stern warning: do not attempt to dodge the expensive new requirements for taking cats, dogs, and ferrets to the continent. Experts caution that trying to circumvent the animal health certificate system by using a cheaper pet passport issued abroad could end up backfiring.
Prior to Brexit, the process was relatively straightforward for UK residents traveling to the EU with their furry companions. The Pet Travel Scheme allowed animals to be transported with just a microchip, rabies vaccination, and pet passport. However, the rules have changed significantly since Britain's exit from the bloc.
