Taking dog food into Europe (9 Viewers)

[Durham's dad]

Hi all.
Am taking my GSD girl into Holland from Hull via ferry. Not been since Brexit. Reading the regs looks like I can only take a small quantity of her tinned food and kibble. Anyone had any experience of problems taking dog food? Shepherd's have sensitive tums so reluctant to go without what she's used to.

I am away at the moment and brought our dogs food for 4 weeks, and emptied ou own fridge of open perishables to bring.
I think it is very very unlikely you will be checked.

Same here, food for our two in a cool bag in the boot area. Did cut the label off a smaller bag of salmon flavoured as you are not restricted on fish. .

Had many crossings since B. They aren't interested. If we cross by car we have a cooler in the boot, fully visible full of goodies, (our dogs eat bacon, sausages and eggs, they also eat M&S Steak pie), as do many others in the queue. This is by ferry not by train.

We take enough for 10 weeks

Similarly never had any checks for restricted foodstuffs, doggy or people. But many of the popular brands are available in the bigger supermarkets.

Thanks for your responses. Reassured now. I don't think there'd be many staff wanting to enter the vehicle with my girl there anyway!
