Den Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I’m guessing with not many travelling with pets to Spain or France if anyone has taken advantage of purchasing a euro passport for their dogs. I did make an enquiry last July with a Spanish vet we’ve used a few times while on holiday. They quoted from memory €40 ish. It’s not the price, it’s how the passport is viewed by officials here and abroad. I wouldn’t like to take Penny and find problems returning. We use Eurotunnel.

Den Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 Thank you Fifo Made interesting reading and goes to show it’s mega expensive compared to pre brexit I’ve not come across anyone whom has taken out a EU passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tringy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hi, we obtained an eu pet passport in Germany last September after spending 165 pounds going out from the Uk with a AHC . The eu pet passport was very easy to get from a normal vet and in Germany it cost me 45 euros which included another rabies vaccination that you must have done in the eu every time it is due and not in the uk.A friend got his in spain exactly the same processes and cost.we was in the vets a total of 35 minutes. No problems returning to the Uk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Thank you Tringy. Great to know you had no problems returning to Uk. Have you or your friend returned to the EU yet, if so any problems outbound. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tringy Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 In Germany we was registered with the vet already because we used them for the normal return process before Brexit, we did not have to supply anything other then the normal the dog has to have but as I said the dog had to be re vaccinated for rabies. The same process took place in Spain only that it took two visits, typically Spain , the vet was in Malaga just picked at random. The German rabies vaccination lasts for 3 years and the Spanish one is for 2 years, why? We don’t know , but once you have the passport you can get the vaccination re done any where in the eu when needed, but not in the Uk, so like us going abroad twice no it’s no problem. We even think it might be cost affective to get it done on a day trip to France alongside some shopping ect. Tringy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandalwood Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Do you have to have UK passport to get to Germany then get German passport ose? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tringy Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The original uk obtained pet passport is no longer valid so to travel to the eu the first time you have to obtain a AHC ( Animal Health Certificate)from your vet in the uk in order to enter the eu. Once you in the eu you can get a eu pet passport in any eu country with a new rabies vaccination and this vaccination has to be kept up with any eu vet . In Germany the rabies vaccination lasts 3 years, in Spain the vaccination lasts 1 or two year. The normal yearly vaccinations are done as normal by your uk vet. Under NO circumstances let a uk vet have any input on the eu pet passport as this will make it invalid. My friend travelled out two weeks ago with the Spanish eu pet passport on the Eurotunnel with on problems whatsoever. We travel in a few weeks. Cheers Tringy.

Den Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Good news someone has traveled to the run from the Uk on a eu passport. Thanks for the update Tringy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggyd Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Can I ask, not for us as we no longer travel abroad but for my daughter with a new 10 month old puppy , they have a holiday home in France, if they get this health check from the Vet in the UK do they get the dog vaccinated with the rabies vaccine and bloods done as we did before in the UK and then register with a Vet in France? for the EU passport the dog would have to be done again over there! and how long before the can return to the UK? and do the not less than 24 hrs and not more than 5 days rule still stand? Thanks, it was complicated enough before but it sounds more so now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tringy Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Sorry for the slow response ,you only have to have a new rabies vaccination when you apply for the new EU pet passport that’s all and yes you still have to visit a vet as before , before you can return to the UK . Hope this helps. Tringy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
