If you're coming into Northern Ireland from Great Britain
From 4 June 2025, residents of Great Britain will need a free Northern Ireland Pet Travel Document (PTD) to bring their dog, cat, ferret or assistance dog into Northern Ireland from Great Britain.

You'll only need to apply once – the document lasts your pet's lifetime.
You do not need to visit a vet to apply.
You'll need to make sure your pet is microchipped.
The PTD and your pet's microchip will be checked at the port or airport.
You only need an Animal Health Certificate if you're travelling onwards to Ireland or another EU country.

It's pretty much the same as here Trev, they're allowed off the lead in certain places as long as they are under control.

I think Belfast is stricter than the rest of NI Trev, my mate had places where he could walk his 2 dogs legally but few and far between.
He did take us to some nice beaches though where dogs were allowed off.

...incidentally, I nearly hit a dog a couple of weeks ago, the dog was off the lead and ran straight in front of me with the owner running 2 feet behind him, I very nearly wiped them both out!

Not allowed of anywhere in n ireland, but hard to police and many do let loose, but if a accedent or dog bites someone you can say goodbuy to your house as a solicitor will have you dried out in court, not worth the risk these days.

Over here, many house insurances offer third party insurance for dogs, which would cover biting someone or causing a car accident.

If anyone doesn't have it (and you absolutely should have a minimum of third party cover), the Dogs Trust offers it as part of their monthly support plan.

It costs next to nothing so isn't worth the worry of not having.

It is allowed Trev, but only in designated areas, same as here. But yes if your dog bites somebody you are usually to blame even if it's not the dog's fault!

Exactly that, which is why dog owners take out insurance so they don't lose their house.

Sorry, I think maybe I was confusing the issue.

Third party cover is normally included in dog insurance policies.

But, if you don't want to take out dog insurance itself (for example, if your dog is elderly and the premiums are high; and you wouldn't want to put them through invasive treatments even if something was found); your home insurance may include third party dog insurance as part of the normal, standard cover.

We have noticed less and less dogs around these days due to the law change, many homes just have a cat now, those round here that have dogs are doing it correct and clean up after them, the message is getting through, and about time.
