Pet passport changes criticised by Channel Island owners and vets

Geegan has called for officials to bring back the Jersey pet passports that were used before Brexit.

She said: “I think that would be easier for vet practices, easier for clients travelling with their pets, so we’ll just watch this space but unfortunately we have no guarantee of when or if that would happen.”

She said the local pet passports were much easier to use, and the new certificate system was “just hassle”.

“It’s hassle for people to have to remember to book an appointment before they go away, it’s hassle for the vets – we used to have these beautiful little pet passports that, you know, were then valid for three years.”
