US EditionBritain asks to rejoin EU pet passport scheme
- The UK government requested to rejoin the EU pet passport scheme ahead of the Brexit reset summit in London on 19 May 2025.
- Britain exited the pet passport program in January 2021 when the Brexit transition period concluded, leading to new travel requirements for pet owners.
- Since Brexit, pet owners in Britain face higher costs and added complexity when travelling, as they must now pay for rabies vaccinations and obtain official animal health certificates.
- Around 250,000 pet owners in the UK used to travel annually to the EU with their animals, and a government insider noted that such agreements offer a wide range of advantages.
- Rejoining the scheme could signal deeper UK-EU cooperation, but negotiations are ongoing amid political sensitivities, especially on fishing and EU legal alignment.
