camperadi Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Was wondering whether anyone has yet returned to UK under new pet passport regulations. Have vet charges dropped now that only worming and passport stamping is required? Although I understand the new requirements (I think) any idea of vet costs or any other experiences might be useful. We have 2 dogs one of which will be going away for the 1st time on a new style passport. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 We came back end of January, took Troy to the vets at Forges les Eaux and Sue reckons it was about 10 euros cheaper this time ;-).........................didn't keep the receipt but 40 euros we think :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I don't expect it to be any cheaper for us as we will still continue to do the 'full' treatment at the vets (tick/flea and worm) as we did before - we put the health of our dogs first, rather than just doing what is 'required' by the regulations etc. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 As an aside to this, I have added Tazzy to our Eurotunnel crossing so the dogs alone have cost us £90! I have written to Eurotunnel asking them to review the policy of charging a flat rate for each pet and instead consider having a sliding scale - they have acknowledged my email and said it is not something they have looked into but will pass it to the relevant area to consider ... if anyone else feels they are able to bring this up with them too, it might be helpful and add some weight to their reviewing it .... maybe they'll change it, maybe not, but if you don't ask. 8-) :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookback Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Brought my border collie back from Spain at the end of January. Examined by a spanish vet who gave him a milbemax worm tablet and signed the pet passport. Cost 30 euros. In addition to signing page 16 (worm treatment) the vet also signed page 28 Clinical Examination. There is only space for 5 such examinations and with the frequency I travel to the continent the pages for that section will soon be used up as opposed to the worm treatment section which has room for 15 entries. I was lead to believe that the Clinical Examination section is for horses only. Can anyone clarify this please. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggyd Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 30euro for a worming tablet seems hellish expensive to me :-S Im sure it only cost me 32 last year for the two dogs and he frontlined them with my meds; but he provided the worming tablet.

Mr. Grumpy Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 DEFRA has a very good web page which explains everything you need to know about the pets passport scheme. If you do have any questions I have found them very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian The Clinical Examination bit isn't a requirement (I think it's more for when they've been to places outside of the EU), some vets complete it anyway. We have had this with our dogs - one of them, Romy, has nearly filled up the other sections on her passport due to the number of holidays she's had so we've just got her a new passport and it only has a small number of Clinical Examination parts in it too. When the vets ran out of the official Clinical Examination parts, they used the last section of the passport which isn't needed normally (can't remember what it's called!) and put their comments in there.

david lloyd Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 We will be returning on 9 March from Spain (via Calais) and, since we have five days in which to get the treatment done, intend to have the dog treated at a vets near the aire at Pont De L'Arche this time instead of nearer to Calais. This will save us having to stay near to Calais (usually St Omer) for the last two nights. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffcow Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 We have just returned from a holiday in Spain/France and we had our 2 cocker spaniels inocculated by a vet in Brionne. It cost 66 euros in total. We crossed by Eurotunnel which was quite easy but be sure you get the pet passports checked and passed before you go through check-in. You now have 1-5 days to travel.
