EU Pet Passports no longer valid for UK residents

I thought that too, but after all the challenges and requests for clarification, surely someone would have corrected it? DEFRA has changed the wording on their website though, changing words like ”must” [use an AHC] to.”should” so there's a small climb-down.

The tunnel seems to be accepting them if that helps?

Pretty sure DFDS have removed the AHC reference from their site
 
Irish ferries still showing AHC ruling . Possibly the only ones . Won't be using them
 
My sister has just let me know she is on her way home with her 3 dogs, and has just gone through border control in Calais for the Chunnel. It is now a drive through, all they needed to do was hand over the Pet Passports. Very efficient she says.
I forgot to add, the scanners were handed into the MH for them to scan the dogs, no fuss.
She is well and truly p!€€ed off about the money it cost for the 3 AHCs that weren’t needed.

I'm sure she is . Big expense for no reason .
I do understand people doing exactly the same as your sister but I couldn't .
 
I think the Tunnel has been a bit iffy with their advice after the change in April in contrast to BF. And they are still saying on their website an AHC is required and an EU PP issued prior to April change is no longer valid. I would have done the same if using the Tunnel, but we have only 1 dog.
 
Thanks Sharon ! Picked up AHC, this morning
Shock our normal fish and chip spot is now no motorhome parking and the area just along the road is now £2.70 per hour or £16.20 per day we normally spend over £100 stocking up on last minute bits and fish and chips , that won’t happen again we will do all that in Cambridge before leaving , the local town in Kent will be a ghost town just driving thru today the seafront was empty and the side streets full of cars parked freely
 
Booked in no problems been put on the earlier tunnel , all went smoothly with PP. although idid have AHC in back pocket just in case
