Pet owners hoping to travel to the EU with their animals have complained of being hit with steep costs after a change to the rules for required travel documents.
From Wednesday, British pet owners are no longer able to travel with their animals using the EU pet passport scheme and instead have to acquire a new animal health certificate each time they go abroad.
Responding to the changes, a number of owners had told the BBC they are now facing steep bills to get the new documents in place with new costs now having to be made for each trip.
Some pet owners have also complained about a lack of communication with the legislation, leaving them unable to take holidays which have already been paid for.
The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) said anyone planning to travel to the EU with their pet should check guidance on GOV.UK, and the entry rules for their destination.
