Pet Travel
Travelling with your pet
Pet owners are finding it increasingly difficult to go on holidays and leave part of our family behind, especially for those extended periods away. The Pet Passport Scheme(PETS) allowed our pets to be part of our great holiday memories and at the same time keep our country free from rabies and other exotic parasites that can have very devastating consequences.

Pet travel post-Brexit
If you have an existing UK pet passport issued at our practice we will need to make a few necessary alterations so it remains valid for travel to the EU and GB.
In 2021, the UK ‘branded’ Pet Passport was deemed no longer valid for travel to EU States including the Republic of Ireland. However, under the terms of the Northern Ireland protocol, the current EU Pet Travel ‘Scheme’ continues to apply to Northern Ireland.
If your pet does not have an existing UK Pet Passport, contact us here at Barry’s Vets so we can start the process. Please allow plenty of time so any delays in the production of your pet’s passport will not affect your travel arrangements!
