AFAIK the purpose of pet passports is to certify the animal is vaccinated against specified diseases. Nobody cares where the animal is "resident", it isn't a resident, or a citizen, of any country. Anyone could take any dog to a vet in the EU, get it vaccinated etc and get a passport for it. I'm sure that EU vets would happily issue a passport, copying over all the vaccination records etc into the new passport, for a fee. Why wouldn't they? As I say, nobody gives a monkey's where it lives or where it's been as long as its healthy and not diseased. Which is why you can find an abandoned dog, take it to a vet and get a passport to bring it to the UK.If anyone is going to issue EU passports to UK dogs it would be him. However, I am still concerned about the acceptance of an EU passport for a UK resident dog, I can easily see the French for example querying it. One of my dogs already has an EU (Greek) passport so I'm doubly concerned.
