Create a UK Pet Passport and Improve EU–UK Travel Arrangements for Pets
We call on the UK Government to create a UK Pet Passport and to work with the European Union to establish a simpler, more affordable system for travelling with pets between the UK and mainland Europe.
Since Brexit, UK pet owners have faced high costs and added bureaucracy when travelling to the EU. Every trip now requires an Animal Health Certificate costing around £200–£300, even for short or repeat journeys.
This is costly for families who wish to travel with their pets safely and responsibly. Before Brexit, UK pet passports allowed affordable, straightforward travel while maintaining high welfare standards. There is no clear reason why such an effective system cannot be reinstated.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign this petition, which calls for similar action: "Seek agreement with the EU to accept pet passports for UK-EU travel" petition.parliament.uk/petitions/767906
