Restored pet passports set to cut Brits' travel costs to EU countries

• British pet owners could soon take dogs, cats and ferrets to the EU using pet passports under a new UK-EU agreement.
• The draft 200-page agreement restores pet passports for British travellers for the first time since Brexit, replacing per-trip Animal Health Certificates.
• Returning to pet passports will make travelling to Europe easier and significantly cheaper for UK pet owners, who currently pay around £200 per journey.
• The proposed sanitary and phytosanitary deal will be presented to EU ambassadors in Brussels and is expected to be ratified at the EU-UK summit on 20 November.
• The agreement follows the closing of a loophole that previously allowed some British residents to obtain EU pet passports from European vets.
