US EditionBritain asks to rejoin EU pet passport scheme
- The UK has officially asked to rejoin the EU’s scheme that allows pets to travel freely across borders, as discussions continue to reset Brexit relations ahead of the May 2025 summit in London.
- The request follows Britain’s exit from the scheme in January 2021 when the Brexit transition period ended, which introduced new veterinary and travel paperwork for UK pet owners.
- Currently, UK pet owners must obtain costly animal health certificates and rabies vaccinations, raising travel expenses and complexity for about 250,000 annual pet travelers to the EU.
- The UK government expects to accept EU demands on a long-term fishing agreement to secure sanitary and phytosanitary regulations, which would enable reentry to the pet passport scheme and ease travel costs.
- This move could signal broader UK-EU cooperation during the Brexit reset, responding to calls from industry groups for practical steps to reduce barriers and improve bilateral relations.
