Animal Health Certificates and Pet Travel Scheme
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will publish the costs to pet owners for (a) pet passports and (b) Animal Health Certificates for travel between the UK and the EU in the last ten years.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
The Government does not collect data on the cost of pet passports or Animal Health Certificates.
All fees are set by veterinary surgeons or veterinary practices and are a private matter between individual practices and their clients and neither the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), the UK regulator of the veterinary profession, nor Defra intervene in the level of fees that are charged.
