Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to their advice in the No Deal Technical Guidance, Taking your pet abroad if there’s no Brexit Deal, published on 24 September, what progress they have made in their discussions with the EU on pet passports; and what advice they plan to provide to owners by the end of November.

On 6 November 2018 Defra released updated guidance on pet travel to Europe after Brexit which advised pet owners to contact their vet at least four months before travel – https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pet-travel-to-europe-after-brexit

This information was issued to the public in a press release statement, as well as being placed on GOV.UK and sent out to pet carriers and other key stakeholders. Official Veterinarians have been contacted separately by email and further information will be published on GOV.UK.

When further details are available about pet travel into and out of the UK, they will be published on GOV.UK.
