BRITS will be asked to dig into their own pockets to start preparing for a No Deal Brexit for the first time on Monday, The Sun can reveal.

Owners who want to take pets to Europe after Brexit must pay £90 by the end of this month under new No Deal guidance.

The pet passport scheme will be voided if talks collapse and Britain leaves the EU in March without an agreement.

That scenario would see pets only allowed to enter the continent if they had been blood tested and vaccinated against rabies three months earlier — in other words now. The £90 test and vaccination fee would be squandered if a breakthrough with Brussels is achieved.

Advice published by the Brexit department next week will warn: “Those wishing to travel to the EU on March 30 2019, for example, should discuss requirements with their vet as soon as possible and before the end of November 2018 at the latest.”

The alarming Whitehall diktat adds: “The requirements include making sure that pets are effectively vaccinated against rabies before they travel.

“This involves having an up-to-date rabies vaccination and a blood test to demonstrate sufficient levels of rabies antibody.

“The blood test would need to be carried out a minimum of 30 days after any initial rabies vaccination and a minimum of three months before their travel date.”

A senior Government source said: “No Deal is ugly and anyone that says otherwise is being dishonest. But it is vital the public are told the facts in good time.

“Obviously a deal is still the most likely and most desirable outcome, but preparing for the worst is going to cost money.”
