Simplified travel for EU pet owners
Pets get their own passport for travel in Europe
From July next year, cats, dogs and ferrets in the EU will need a “pet passport” if they are to travel between Member States. However, those visiting the UK, Ireland and Sweden will need additional documentation to prove that rabies checks have been effective.
…
All the documents needed by pets for travel into each Member State will be replaced by a single document, recognised throughout the EU, which means that animal lovers will not have to obey a host of different regulations in each Member State.
Visits to the vet will become more straightforward, too, as the passport will record a detailed record of the pet’s medical history.
Well, that makes life a bit easier.
