There seems to be very little, if any, logic behind these declarations. Just who is issuing 'massive fines' to vets? Surely if there is a fine there has to be an actual law forbidding the supposed offence. So where is this actual law?

Does the lovely lady vet in Bruges who happily provides Pet Passports to Brits receive a fine for each one she issues? Of course not!

Belgium requires dogs to be registered on their DogID database only if they are going to be in the country for more than six months. This is hidden away in an obscure section of the DogID website:

Back in September 2021 ericonabike reported the following conversation with a vet in Bruges:

In other words, there is nothing to prohibit the issuing of Pet Passports to Brits but a group of Belgian vets think that it shouldn't be allowed based on the requirements for resident dogs.

Many countries, like France and Belgium, have dog licences and that is what a passport can only be issued to a licenced dog.

We got ours in July from Lieve in Bruges. We also got a new 3 year rabies despite dog already having had her 3 year jag in February. She charged €94 including worming.

Used it for first time this month and all ok

Our dog had 3 year rabies in uk in July, so vet said she did not need another one. Got home okay. This was in bourges and apparently been stopped issuing pet passports, so I was lucky.

France certainly does not have dog licences, and I don't believe Belgium does either.
