If you’re planning to travel from the UK to the EU with your cat, you must start preparations at least one month before your departure date. Since 1 January 2021, the UK has been listed as a Part 2 country under EU pet travel regulations, and previous rules no longer apply.
Note: UK-issued pet passports are no longer valid for entry into the EU. However, EU-issued pet passports remain valid for re-entry to the UK and for ongoing EU travel.
Travel can be stressful for cats. For short trips, we often recommend that cats stay home with a trusted carer. For longer holidays or relocations, we can advise on stress-reducing techniques, travel training, and how to prepare nervous or first-time feline travellers.
Ensure your cat is protected against fleas, ticks, and worms during your time abroad. Some destinations require additional treatments—we can guide you on what’s needed based on where you’re going.
Help fellow cat lovers discover the compassionate, gold-standard care their feline friends deserve — from expert vets to a stress-free, cat-first environment.
