New Complex UK Rules For EU Travel With Assistance Dogs

The UK is trying to get used to new rules and regulations for many aspects of our relationship with our European neighbours.

A consequence of this is that it is now more complicated for people travelling with assistance dogs, like Guide Dogs, to travel from the UK into the EU, with further complexities for travel between mainland UK and Northern Ireland.

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Chris Theobald, from Guide Dogs, and RNIB Services Director David Clarke, who is himself a guide dog owner.
