When you got your Pet Passport in Ireland, did the vet administer another rabies vaccination or transfer details from the AHC? In either case, what expiry date did they write for the rabies vaccination?
Your rabies jab won’t be the dogs first rabies jab, so you will be able to ask for a three year rabies jab.
1 year rabies beginning of July !
this year
Surprised the Irish vet gave only a 1-year jab; 3-year vaccines are widely available.
Thank you for enlightening me, but I was going on what my French vet had told me, that it would be an annual rabies vaccination. The UK AHC requires the EU vet to administer the wormer and to sign the document to say the animal is fit to travel. It's is my understanding that it is also a UK requirement that EU passport animals need the same treatment and declaration.
If it helps, I've just obtained a PP in Belgium and the rabies jab is for 3 years(I understand that's not always the case with french vets). On return to the UK a went to a french vet for the tape worm tablet who completed the passport. They charged both for the tablet and for consultation. We were fine with the passport when we returned through customs.
No need for a health check with a Pets Passport - not part of the process. And my understanding is dogs which are resident in France are required to have annual rabies vaccinations, but dogs visiting on PPs are not.
French vets seem to say all sorts of things, many of them conflicting.
I'm sorry, I didn't state my post correctly, by administering the wormer the animal becomes fit to travel, I didn't mean that the animal needed an examination, although we always have ours checked over, it seams to be better examination to that which we get in UK chain of vets establishments.French vets seem to say all sorts of things, many of them conflicting.
The clinical examination is only required for commercial movements, not pets travelling with their owners. I believe some airlines may also request that this section is completed, but I have never flown with a dog so can not confirm this from experience.
I have never needed an AHC so can not comment on the requirements for those, but have used my dog's French Pet Passport at Eurotunnel several times with just the worming section completed and no clinical examination. There are generally less spaces in a Pet Passport for clinical examination than worming, so you are going to fill it up earlier if you have a clinical exam done each time.
Makes for an interesting life, happy camping.Ok.You had a few of us going there!
Sorry to rain on your parade but you wasted the money on the AHC
see my post no11, we took two dogs no problems whatsoever.
What are the details of the vet in Belgium that you used, thanks
AHCs are currently not required to travel from GB to Northern Ireland because checks were suspended indefinitely while UK/EU negotiations took place. However, AHCs are required to enter Republic of Ireland, as for any other EU country. However, as there are no checks on the border between N.I. and the Republic, it is obviously possible to circumvent this requirement.Sorry to rain on your parade but you wasted the money on the AHC
you don’t need a AHC if travelling to Northern Ireland as it’s part of the UK and due to the agreements reached during’B’xit ,there is no check between Northern Ireland and the Republic .
The important part here is the ‘are’ you highlighted, i believe as part of the European divorce settlement ALL border checks were suspended until some unspecified future date, I suspect Biden‘s lot would be up in arms if any changes were made without their agreement (Lots of votes to be gained in the US).
Did you have AHC before you went to the Irish vets or notThe important part here is the ‘are’ you highlighted, i believe as part of the European divorce settlement ALL border checks were suspended until some unspecified future date, I suspect Biden‘s lot would be up in arms if any changes were made without their agreement (Lots of votes to be gained in the US).
Regardless of what others may say or think I drove over the border,stopped at the FIRST vets we came across, paid our money and now have two Irish passports for our dogs showing the date they they received their 3year rabies jab.
the only stipulation the vet made was that we could provide an Irish address and not travel back across the border for 21 days
(I think he would of been happy with the Guinness brewery as an address because there was no check)
s,ireland is in the EU possibly you need an AHC to obtain PP from an s, irish vetSorry to rain on your parade but you wasted the money on the AHC
