Benefits of EU Dog passport (7 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

So why do the majority go to the expense and beurocracy of the Animal Health Certificate

Do "the majority" ?
Perhaps many don't know it's possible to get an EU Passport?
Perhaps the only plan to go to the EU infrequently?

Or as friends of ours did their dogs are older and they had taken them one last time, not planning long term.

For us its saved a fortune just this year.
3 trips at min £350 each trip from our locak vet verse £0 cost to go out, not counting return as its same cost
