Travel regulations for pet owners in Great Britain have undergone significant changes due to new European Union rules aimed at improving animal health and border control. Effective from April 22, British residents can no longer use the EU pet passport for traveling with dogs, cats, and ferrets to EU countries. Instead, they must obtain an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) issued by a qualified veterinarian within ten days prior to travel. This certificate is necessary for each journey but remains valid for up to six months for further travel within the EU, provided rabies vaccination requirements are met. Despite the stricter documentation process, authorities have confirmed that traveling with pets is still possible, urging pet owners to check the latest guidance on the GOV.UK website. The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) emphasized the importance of thorough preparation to avoid delays at border checkpoints, as requirements may differ across EU nations.
