French eu pet passport (1 Viewer)

[gallachk]

Hi, our dog was issued with an eu passport in France in 2022. We have used it successfully several times. Last week, however, at a different vets, they said we hadn’t registered with Icad in France.. they stamped the passport, but said we need to come back next time and they will send her chip number to icad to get registered, and it may take 2 weeks. She said we should bring a uk animal health certificate, but wouldn’t need anything else.
I have just read that France won’t issue an eu passport unless we have a visa to allow us to stay more than 90 days. Does anyone have any advice about this please?

Get another one in Belgium. French vet stamped ours with no problem. Just about to test it on Spanish vet.

We bought a passport for our dog in Spain last year and the vet registered the chip number on the EU database at the same time. There was no discussion about a two week wait.

I’m surprised one was obtained in France in 2022 as people were already reporting that impossible to get one there if not a French resident.

So, did you just go to the vet and ask for one?

Which vet did you use in Belgium and what did you need to take with you? Thanks

I used one on the outskirts of Mons as that was convenient just as a bypass on way to France. Many funsters on this forum have used her. Convenient MH stop at the Strepy-Thieu boat lifts.

Prices can be what she charges on the day, for us 50€ plus charge for the rabies and accompanying health check. 3 year rabies. It was in 2022.
It is cheaper in Spain but we are only now travelling here.

I think you were just unlucky with the vet you chose,some recommendations here

Recommended vets in France for wormer

We’re hopefully going back to France for a fortnight in mid October. I say hopefully as OH ended up in hospital when we came back last week - botched catheter change. The real issue is waiting 15 months for his prostate reduction surgery - he can’t have the normal TURPS as needs more...

We took the dog, of course and the AHC that we had travelled over on. First time with a dog.

That’s for worming not rabies.
Edit, sorry, maybe the OP just wanted return to UK worming? In that case, yes chose another vet until PP runs out.
We used the vet at Buchy in France to return to UK last time but there are many more on the thread ypu linked to.

Who mentioned rabies ? I understood that the vets were saying that the passport was not valid as the dog was not on the icad system which is b****cks.

If you need another passport gallachk there are plenty to choose from

The vet is talking piffle.

It’s an EU passport for the dog with no requirement for registration in France which is a French issue for French resident dogs.

I too am surprised one was obtained in 2022. When our dog was registered in 2020 our vet supplied the paperwork and filled in most of the details. We compiled the rest and posted it to I-CAD with a cheque (yes-really!) using the duplicate form as proof in the meantime. We never provided proof of residency but they had known us and her for 2+ years prior to that since re-registering her upon arrival in France in late 2017.

I-CAD is a French scheme that presumably complies with the EU requirement. The Spanish obviously do it differently.

It does work well. We live next to the man who runs the local hunting organisation and, since he learned that we have our own scanner, has frequently borrowed it to scan stray dogs people tell him about. He gives the chip number to his vet who traces it on the database, contacts the owner directly and tells them where to find their dog.

So, did you just go to the vet and ask for one?

Yes. We used a vet just outside Roses. There was no problem at all, although our dog had to have another rabies jab as it has to be given by a Spanish (or EU) vet. It cost €125, which is more than many pay, but it did include the chip registration fee into the EU database.

The vet wasn't at all bothered by us giving a UK address.

Just use a different vet next time.
You have a passport and that is all you need.

That vet is talking out of his derrière.

If the rabies vaccinations are up to date there is nothing wrong with your Pet Passport. You do not need an AHC or another Pet Passport. I-cad registration is really only relevant to resident dogs. It is a legal requirement only if a dog will be staying in France for more than 3 months. It is certainly not needed to cross borders.

All of the nonsense quoted by French vets seems to stem from misinterpretations of the badly-worded Br*x*t statement on the I-cad website. This has been thoroughly explored in a number of threads on here.
