Brexit and Pet Travel (123 KB, PDF)
Changes to the requirements for pet travel between the UK and EU countries will come into force on 1 January 2021. The final rules for pet travel have been the subject of ongoing discussions.
In a Defra press release published on 16 December 2020, the Government announced that the UK will have Part 2 listed status from 1 January 2021 which means new rules will apply for pets travelling to Europe. The Government also stated that it is continuing to press the European Commission to secure Part 1 listed status.
Further details of the new requirements and the different options available during the negotiation process are set out in this briefing paper.
