Every trip now requires an Animal Health Certificate costing around £200–£300, even for short or repeat journeys. \r\nThis is costly for families who wish to travel with their pets safely and responsibly. Before Brexit, UK pet passports allowed affordable, straightforward travel while maintaining high welfare standards. There is no clear reason why such an effective system cannot be reinstated.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":21,"created_at":"2026-05-05T14:48:00.859Z","updated_at":"2026-05-27T16:18:33.478Z","rejected_at":"2026-05-27T16:18:26.857Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-05-05T15:22:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition, which calls for similar action: \"Seek agreement with the EU to accept pet passports for UK-EU travel\" https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/767906"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
