Pet owners get a treat as EU relaxes ****** travel curbs
Britons will only need to visit a vet and get an animal health certificate to take their pets to Europe
Pet owners will find it easier to take their cats, dogs or even ferrets to Europe after ****** following an eleventh-hour concession from Brussels.
The European Commission has relaxed restrictions due to come into force on January 1 that would have forced pet owners to plan any trip to the Continent three months in advance.
Instead Britons will only need to visit a vet and get an animal health certificate to prove that their pet has had a rabies injection, no more than ten days before travel to the EU. The regulations are applicable to dogs, cats and ferrets, which are susceptible to the disease.
The move will take effect even in the event of a no-deal ******. Ministers are pressing the EU to remove the need for a health certificate altogether – allowing pets to travel under the present pet passport scheme. The new rules will apply between Britain and Northern Ireland. The threat to pet travel could have led to whole families being turned away at EU ports if they did not have the correct paperwork. The animal health certificate is expected to cost about £60 - similar to the pet passport. This can used for travel between EU coun- tries for up to four months. A spokesman for the Dogs Trust charity urged pet owners to make themselves familiar with the new rules. "Dogs Trust encourages pet owners to thoroughly read the government's guidance to ensure that they're not caught out with the incorrect paper- work when wishing to go to Northern Ireland or the EU with their dog," the spokesman said. Hopes rise for deal.
