When UK Pet Passports come back — you’ll be the first to know.

The government is actively reviewing whether to reinstate a simplified pet passport system for EU travel. The moment that’s confirmed — no more AHC every single trip, just one document valid for life — we’ll email you the same day.

You won’t have to check the news. We’ll be watching, and we’ll tell you.

🔔 You’re on the list. We’ll shout when it happens.

Check the official government guidance

Rules change. Always verify current requirements at the official GOV.UK pet travel page before booking anything.
