Benefits of EU Dog passport (70 Viewers)

[GaryMo]

We are currently in France with our dog, first time we brought him, cost a small fortune.

We will be heading back in the next few days so need to visit vet and get wormer and certificate signed.

The cost quoted by vet seems a lot 55 euro. But for 10euro more they will supply a passport.

So what will the benefits be of a passport? And I thought you needed a permanent EU address, can they still issue one?.

The vets is highly rated based in Luxembourg

Can still use AHC for return journey .
Puzzled as to why people are talking about getting worming done in UK ?

If you are going for a short trip then UK vet can do worming and I think for Ireland, Norway and a few others you need some worming or similar before you travel.

Ah . Travelling from Edinburgh not something I've ever considered

You don’t need to get an AHC every time you cross the channel.


They can, but French vets seem averse to the idea.

No, there were new rules over two years ago (or was it three ) if a dog had not been on the iCad (?) register for 3 months they were not allowed to issue a pet passport. Janie

That’s rather what I was suggesting (that you would have no joy in France (however, others seem to be suggesting otherwise )).

Or Belgium. Some may even post date the worming treatment.

Pet passport in Spain 22 Euros, rabies jab (three year one) worming and health check for return trip. 42 Euros.
Returned to UK last weekend.
No more messing about with the AHC
BUT as Minxy said. ensure the date at front of passport is the implant date if relying on previous rabies history or they wont accept it at Calais.
Unless you have a new jab then they can write the reading date.
This happened to us last year so had to have a new rabies injection this year to be any use and travel out on an AHC.

We're heading off to France next week and have just been through the (expensive) AHC process, are there any French vets out there supplying pet passports?

I have just PMed you my list of French vets that have recently issued Pet Passports to Brits. This list is available to any subscribing Funster that needs it - just send me a PM.

There were no new 'rules' just misinterpretations of that 'Brexit statement' on the I-cad website. BTW that notorious statement has now disappeared.

Just remember if you do get a EU pet passport don’t let any UK vet write anything in or it will void the passport

See above posts they can write certain things

So, do French Vets still require your dog to be on the I-cad register before they issue passport? And does this need the owner to have a French address (or can any address be used)?

Well you take your chances but no British vet is touching mine that’s for sure
And why would they need to ?

 

[Conniedriving]

No UK vets are not allowed to enter anything except worming treatment if you are only going for a short break. Rabies must be done in EU.

A uk vet can give a worming tablet but should not write anything in the EU passport

 

[Conniedriving]

For short trips?

You only need worming tablets coming back not going so needs to be done in EU
