Just in case there are other folk on here as gormless as me, a cautionary tale..
We have had Fido for four years, and enjoy taking him abroad. We have his passport sorted, and I thought I was totally on top of the worming requirements, bizarrely bureaucratic though they may be. But today, as we prepare to return from santander on Thursday, I realise I'd been wrong all along. I had read the "get him wormed no less than 24 hours, no more than 120 hours" as being from time of departure from Spain. No, its time of arrival in UK. Which given the santander crossing can be up to 36 hours, can be a major issue. I've just had to reschedule his appointment with a vet in Burgos as a result. So, apologies if you're all on top of this, but thought it worth mentioning...
