Apparently I'm the second UK vet she's done a PP for. More to come, by the sounds...

Hi Max, would you be so kind as to pm me your list of vets? I'm just about to post now about it.Actually there are still some French vets who will issue Pet Passports to Brits. I have a list that I have compiled from various Facebook posts, currently standing at 33 of them. A couple have dropped off the list but then others come along to replace them.
Maz sorry, autocorrect!Hi Max, would you be so kind as to pm me your list of vets? I'm just about to post now about it.
Hi. I have just replied about this in the thread you started.Hi Max, would you be so kind as to pm me your list of vets? I'm just about to post now about it.
Please can anyone give me details of where the motorhome sized lay-by near Dr Lieve de Rycke’s vet practice in Bruges is? Trying to make plans to go there on our way back to UK. Thanks.

Thanks Maz, super helpful!Hi clairecamper and welcome to the Fun!
In answer to your questions:
1. Yes, the booster must be given in an EU country.
2. Any EU vet can administer the rabies booster and record it in the PP.
3. Provided the rabies booster is given before the current one expires there is no 21 day waiting period.
Also, just double checking for the rabies booster… we don’t need to have a European residence?Thanks Maz, super helpful!
Also wondering if to save a trip to Europe in April every 3 years, would we be able to get her rabies booster done in July 2027 (9 months early) perhaps combining with her returning to the uk tapeworm visit?
Just thinking it would be good for the future booster schedule to combine with the main summer holiday!

Shouldn't be a problem but there has been the odd report on Facebook of vets refusing to administer a rabies vaccine early. You can use any EU vet for a booster so just check with your chosen one before making an appointment.Thanks Maz, super helpful!

You don't need EU residence for either a rabies booster or the Pet Passport itself, as Lieve de Rycke will tell you when you see her.Also, just double checking for the rabies booster… we don’t need to have a European residence?
That’s just for the actual passport?
So we could be in France, for example, and any vet can do the rabies booster to add to the EUPP?
Thanks so much for you helpYou don't need EU residence for either a rabies booster or the Pet Passport itself, as Lieve de Rycke will tell you when you see her.
However, there are vets in both France and Belgium (and other countries too though in lesser numbers) who will refuse to issue an EU Pet Passport to Brits. Hence the popularity of Lieve who understands that there is nothing in law to prohibit this.

As I'm sure you already know, Border Control are not going to check on his chip number in any other way than matching it from dog to Pet Passport. That's all they are required to do and that is all they will do.I didn’t argue just nodded…
But not heard this before
We have used the passport twice without issue
Suggestion by vet was that there could be an issue at border should they decide to check on his chip number….![]()
