Hi all
We are driving down to Spain about two days before Brexit and return a few weeks after Brexit. In the case of a No Deal I enquired with our vets about possible issues returning with our dog.
This was there reply: - maybe useful if you are also travelling at similar time.
"This is the reply I have had from the APHA travel team.
The animal must have one of the following documents when returning to the UK:
• an existing EU pet passport (both for UK and EU citizens)
• the EU health certificate issued in the UK used to travel to the EU
• a UK pet health certificate (issued outside the UK for travel into the UK only)
Check the routes before you travel. On existing approved routes your documents and microchip will be checked. If you’re not travelling on an approved route talk to your vet about what preparations you need to make before travel.
There will be no change to the current requirements for pets entering the UK from the EU after 29 March.
Travel from countries that are not free from tapeworm (Echinococcus multilocularis)
You’ll need to take your dog to a vet between one and five days before returning to the UK for an approved tapeworm treatment.
You do not need to treat your dog for tapeworm if you’re coming directly to the UK from Finland, Ireland, Malta or Norway.
So it looks like as long as your dog’s passport is up to date you should be fine to travel without any other documentation for this trip. Leaving the UK after Brexit may be a different matter depending on whether there is a deal not and how they categorised the uk.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch again if you have any other questions.
Kind regards"
