UK pet travel rules: British owners now need new health certificate for every Europe trip

British pet owners face new EU travel rules from April 22. Old EU pet passports are no longer valid for entry into Europe. Instead, a new Animal Health Certificate, issued by a vet within ten days of travel, is mandatory for each trip. This certificate is valid for six months for onward and return journeys, provided rabies vaccinations are current.
