The UK government issued more advice for British pet owners on Tuesday to make sure they take the necessary steps in case Britain crashes out of the EU without a deal - an event still described as "unlikely" by London.





The government's Brexit advice paper says: "If you're living in Europe and are planning to travel with your pet using a UK-issued pet passport, you should speak to your local vet.

"They'll be able to help you understand the impact of Brexit and ensure you're compliant with EU Pet Travel Regulations."


"If you have a pet passport issued by an EU member state, you can use it to bring your pet to the UK," says the government.

"To return your pet to an EU country from the UK, you'll need to ensure it has a successful rabies antibody blood test.



In the event of a no-deal the British government is hoping to enter into discussions with Brussels to persuade the EU to treat it as a "listed" country from March 29th, meaning the pet passport scheme could still apply and the above advice may not be relevant.
