The vet may spend 4 hours completing forms however that's not gonna be only for one client but when they do them for several in bulk otherwise whoever is doing them needs to go back to school! Also it's only 12 pages, not 48 so I've got no idea where they've got that figure from unless as I've said it was 4 separate ones which means 1 hour each.
Well almost the same, I didn't bother getting the AHC'sI live in London but from NI and am over at the moment with my dog. She's a rescue and has a Ukrainian passport so was planning to get a French one when we start our trip. Thinking if I could get it now, could nip down to the Dundalk area - can you recommend the vet you used? Sorry if it's already somewhere on this thread but couldn't see it
Can't help with that one, I'm afraid. I went to a vet in Carndonagh, which is in the opposite direction, very near Malin Head. Others mentioned a vet in Letterkenny, again in the wrong direction. But I'm sure there's vets everywhere, I wouldn't think you'd have a problem.
Thanks - I'll see if I can get an appointment in time. If we decide to head the other direction I might give you a shout.
Sadly, I can beat the St Anne’s price: Wangford Veterinary, Suffolk £160 not including the rabies jab (another £51.50).Now that vets are beginning to announce their charges for issuing Animal Health Certificates, I thought it would be interesting to start doing a little online research. Most vets’ websites I’ve found are remarkably coy about what they intend to charge for an AHC, even those vets who happily list their prices for a range of other services.
Two vets whose websites do include prices for AHCs are worth commenting on:
1. Mansion Hill Vets, nr Banbury
They reckon that it will take them 45 minutes to complete an AHC, for which their charge is £124.

2. St Anne’s Veterinary Group, Eastbourne
Hold the record so far for most expensive AHC at £136.06 for the first animal plus £91.43 for each subsequent animal on the same AHC.

In various other threads, a couple of Funsters have mentioned what their local vets propose to charge:
Jaws in Norfolk £50
weekenders in Leicestershire £54
Can I ask for the names and addresses (or websites) of these vets, please.
If anyone else has details of or links to other vets with known charges for AHCs, please post them in this thread. It could become a useful resource for many pet owners. Thank you.
Both my dogs are Spanish rescues, with EU Passports
, but if I needed AHC's, I'd use either Abbeywell or Passpets, both of whom have a reputation for efficiency and accuracy, at the cost of £99 for the first animal and £35 for additional pets on the same certificate. I would regard this to be 'a non extortionate fee.' Thanks PaulC70 - will try a few in the morning and see what they say. The Ukrainian element might be enough to tip them over the edge!
We had two dogs, we where quoted £150 for both, But we lost lola on boxing day very time , vet do a great job but pets are becoming a luxury.
Hi all think I can beet this our vet in Stafford want's £250.00 to do paperwork.Now that vets are beginning to announce their charges for issuing Animal Health Certificates, I thought it would be interesting to start doing a little online research.

Just go on google maps and put in "vets near me" when in RoI. Not all offer PP's but ring and make an appointment.
What a bargain. I decided to wait until our trip in April so will get an AHC then a French passport. Our pup just got her rabies jab in Sept so don't want her to get another too quickly
.
They were very efficient, they made 2 appointments, one in the morning to do a microchip scan and the health check and one in the evening to pick up the certificate. We didn’t have any issues with the certificate on the journey and will definitely use them againWill give them try , not far from us , thanks.
That is correct for a UK issued EU pet passport.When I was in Spain in November 2021 I went in to a vet with the intention of getting an EU passport but when I checked the rules from 1st Jan 2021 if you are resident in the UK the EU pet passports are no longer valid due to Brexit.
