Irish pet passport

[vzac]

I know it gets boring. Does anyone know how currently, we take our pet to northern ireland and get a pet passport. The quotes I have for a ahc are ridiculous at our vets, with rabies jab and ahc it's nearly £400. So thinking of going to ni and getting a pp over the border in the republic. Is this possible and can anyone recommend a vet that issues pp. It's going to be similar price and get a holiday out of it as well. Any help advise welcome.

AFAIK it's possible, no AHC required for NI and no border between NI and the Republic. Also do a search for AHC I have it booked for £149 for 2 dogs, that's with a specialist. The rabies shots are being done by our own vet.

A quick search of the previous threads show up Anne Scott at Tulnaree House, Carndonagh, Co Donegal is used by many on here. I get mine in Belgium so cant recommend.

Sadly not true

AHC required for NI. Can't get on a ferry without one as NI treated the same as Ireland which is an EU member.

Explored all this earlier this year and decided with ferry costs etc not to bother. Emailed a couple of NI gov depts and got strange replies (official doc) that an AHC is required to export the Dog to NI. Replied saying not exporting just visiting etc. Got the same back, no explanation or addition comment.

Costs for AHC vary greatly so shop around.

Sail from Stranraer or Cainryan just drive up and go! AFAIK no checks at all
