Dog/Pets from Scotland/Wales to Northern Ireland

wander44

Hi,

Can anyone explain how the rules have changed after Brexit, concerning brining pets from the "mainland " into Northern Ireland either via Holyhead/Dublin
or Scotland into either Larne or Belfast?

I am planning on taking my dog on holiday this summer in a touring caravan to the Cotswolds, but cannot find anywhere to explain if there are any problems 
doing this sine Brexit.  Going via Scotland or Dublin/Holyhead does not make much difference unless there are different rules !

Help

There are a bunch of new requirements since Brexit.

It won't matter whether you travel from NI or RoI, the rules for moving animals from EU (incl NI) to GB, and for moving animals from GB to EU (incl NI) will still be the same.

Strange - according to a post on the “buying a car from England” discussion last week, we’re still part of the U.K. It just doesn’t really feel quite like it used to, does it?

I suspect the rioters of recent nights have realized Boris has lied all along (anyone surprised?) and the dup have scored a massive own goal. 

The mess so far was easy to predict. The trickier bit is what happens next?

Mnoee

wander44 will either take their dogs on holiday, or not, and hopefully we'll not have to have a huge thread of political talk from a simple question about pets.

Why ever not?
