EU Pet Passports no longer valid for UK residents

[Drover]

There's an equivalent document that can be issued by EU vets - the GBHC (Health Certificate).

Do the eu vets know about this as the ones I've talked to don't know anything about a AHC

I don't know - I'd imagine there isn't a huge demand for them. So possibly vets neat ports will be more aware than vets in other places.

Where can that be found? I've found Certificate GBHC640, but that's a model health certificate for the commercial importation of dogs, cats and ferrets, so not applicable to pets.

I've never needed one but I think this is it, on.the DEFRA website.

Pet travel: apply for a Great Britain pet health certificate

Use this certificate to bring your pet dog, cat or ferret, or assistance dog, to Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland).

Defra/uk has now updated their update.
Wording now says you can also use a valid passport ( i guess issued in eu)

You really couldn't make it up, could you.

I’m waiting for an answer back from my contact in eurotunnel what will happen if a UK resident tries to use a valid EU pet passport. By valid I mean one issued in Europe and where the relevant health details are input by a European vet, and kept well away from any of the stealers over here. Clearly the Defra (no more they are now APHA) wording is still very clouded. I hate these petty bureaucrats we have installed in all aspects of modern life.

Still no answer yet from my contact at Eurotunnel, but this attached screenshot is an answer to a question I have asked just 5 minutes ago.

Perhaps a phone call, or several dozen to Eurotunnel/LeShuttle could be of use

There's so much conflicting information, what an absolute mess.

An absolute fuster-cluck. What’s to prevent them from changing the rules the day before you set off to catch the train or ferry? I really hate our parliament - regardless of what colour flags they fly, they’re all incompetent and look after themselves and not the people.
