As of April 22, 2026, UK pet owners traveling to the EU will face increased costs due to new regulations that eliminate a loophole that had been in place since Brexit.
This change means that pet owners will no longer be able to use existing EU pet passports for multiple trips, necessitating the acquisition of new documents for each journey.
The adjustment in policy reflects ongoing shifts in travel regulations following the UK's departure from the EU, impacting pet owners who frequently travel abroad.
