<p>Following our decision to leave the EU, Defra is working to make sure pet owners
wishing to travel with their pets to the EU after March 29 are made aware of any potential
changes to the pet travel scheme and what actions need to be taken. We have taken
the view that centralising this guidance is prudent to reacting quickly to changes
as needed as well as for clarity purposes.</p><p> </p><p>For this reason, while the
guidance issued on 24 September 2018 <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/taking-your-pet-abroad-if-theres-no-brexit-deal/taking-your-pet-abroad-if-theres-no-brexit-deal"
target="_blank">Taking your pet abroad if there’s no Brexit deal</a> remains active,
it has been replaced with follow-up advice on GOV.UK called “<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pet-travel-to-europe-after-brexit"
target="_blank">Pet travel to Europe after Brexit</a>”.</p><p> </p><p>While the information
contained in this later release hasn’t changed from the previous technical notice,
it emphasises the need for owners to seek advice from their veterinarian and also
focuses on a “no deal” scenario, as opposed to the range of possible scenarios discussed
in the technical notice.</p>
