The Kennel Club has welcomed the announcement that pet passports will return, as part of the UK-EU trade deal.
Dr Ed Hayes, Head of Public Affairs at The Kennel Club said: “We thoroughly support the reintroduction of the pet passport system, meaning that dogs travelling from the UK will no longer need animal health certificates for every trip – which have proved to be both costly and burdensome for pet owners, and something we have continued to raise concerns about with Government officials in the UK.
“This is a very positive step, and we thank all those MPs who have kept pet travel high on the agenda with the EU and helped to deliver a solution for dog owners.”
Further information about The Kennel Club’s campaign to ensure smooth pet travel post-Brexit is available on the organisation’s website: thekennelclub.org.uk/brexit.
