Rejected petition: Reverse the decision to not allow British Citizens to use EU Pet Passports

Rejected on

Reinstate EU pet passport use for UK citizens to simplify travel, reduce costly repeat health certificates, and cut admin burdens. The current system is expensive, inefficient, and discourages responsible pet travel—restoring passports supports mobility and fairness.

Animal Health certificates are hugely overpriced one off documents, punishing those who already have paid and used pet passports for years. This change has been poorly communicated and very last minute
