🚨Important pet travel information. There has been some changes to the EU rules.

⚠️‼️CHANGES IN THE PET TRAVEL SCHEME‼️⚠️

Are you UK Resident traveling to EU with your pet with an EU passport?

Please be aware of an important change affecting Pet Travel that was announced by the UK Government last week.

What is changing?
From 22 April 2026, new EU rules will apply to the non‑commercial movement of dogs, cats and ferrets entering the EU from third countries such as Great Britain (GB).
An EU pet passport, issued to or held by a pet owner who is resident in GB, will no longer be a valid document for travelling with pets from GB to the EU.

This applies to EU pet passports issued in an EU Member State or Northern Ireland, including those issued before 22 April 2026. EU pet passports may only be issued to owners whose main residence is within the European Union.
GB residents travelling to the EU with a pet dog, cat or ferret will need to obtain an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) for travel from 22 April 2026.

So, if you have been travelling to Europe with your pet with a French/Polish/Spanish/other pet passport, this will no longer be allowed. You will be stop in the border and made to go to their vet for an AHC.
Yes this was the rule before too but Border Control will reinforce it from 22April onwards.

Please understand that this is nothing to do with your vet practice, but the governments.

Please inform your friends in case they are not aware.

⭐️ Practice update ⭐️

We would like to give everyone a little vet team update !

As many of you are aware, our wonderful vet Vicky has internally transferred to a branch closer to her home; we wish her all the best of luck with her next chapter.

We have welcomed with open arms our new vet Maggie (who some of you may have met before!)
Maggie has been a vet for over 10 years and has previously worked at Medivet Welwyn Garden City. She holds a certificate in Small Animal Medicine with a keen interest in senior health and oncology.
We are so excited that she has joined our team!

We are also welcoming back our Branch Partner Thea from maternity leave.
Thea has been at Potters Bar for over 10 years now and is an advanced practitioner in small animal medicine. She is very excited to see all of our regulars back again (and welcome all of the new editions).

We also have our wonderful vet Elin who continues to work with us on Thursdays and Fridays. Elin enjoys all areas of first opinion practice and is very dedicated in ensuring that your pets receive the best possible care.

We offer all around routine care, animal health certificates, imaging and dentistry services!

🐾 We hope to see everyone soon 🐾

Say hello to Bella, our lovely doggy friend. She had her spay surgery with us yesterday. Bella is the cutest, sweetest, bestest girl ❤️ Some of the photos are her before surgery and some after. As you can see she recovered really well from her anaesthetic and was very bright and alert after. Well done Bella 🌟🌟🌟.
