Whilst the effect of Brexit on the rules for travelling with pets is still to be decided, owners planning to travel after the 31st October 2019 should be aware of the potential changes to requirements. Details of the possible scenarios, as set out by the government, can now be found on our client advice page Pet travel. The scenario that would have most impact on travel requirements is if the UK leave the EU with no deal, whereby owners will need to contact their vet at least 4 month before their planned travel date to allow time for microchipping, rabies vaccination, a blood test and for a 3 month statutory wait before the dog or cat is allowed to travel. Please ask to speak to one of our official veterinarians if you would like to discuss how these changes may affect you and your pet.
