Benefits of EU Dog passport (37 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

From the government
Check that the vet has filled in the following sections in the pet passport:

• details of ownership - you must sign section I if your pet passport was issued on or after 29 December 2014
• description of animal
• marking or identification of animal
• vaccination against rabies
• details of the vet issuing the passport (for passports issued from 29 December 2014)
• your dog’s tapeworm treatment (if needed)

Only vets in EU countries can enter rabies vaccination details into an EU pet passport.

If your pet passport does not have an up to date vaccination record, you’ll need an animal health certificate instead.

Any vet in any country can put tapeworm treatment details into a pet passport.
