gasaxeman 167 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 (edited) I like taking my dogs abroad but since brexit this has become expensive . I didn't realise that after them having the rabies vaccinations 1 the vet didn't do the animal health certificates as they are a long winded ball ache . And 2 they are cheapest £360 a pop for 2 dogs every time you want to leave the UK to take them out and that was the cheapest quote some vets who did do the certificates wanted over £500 because my dogs wasn't registered with them . Someone told me I can take my dogs to Ireland and get them registered there for an EU passport at a vets over there does anyone know if this is true or has anyone done this . Edited January 19 by gasaxeman Forget to mention about having 2 dogs Quote Link to post
Ringe 1 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 That’s what I did a couple of years ago, as the costs and process for those certificates was awful and expensive. From memory the passports were about 100 Euro each. Though I only really go over to Ireland with mine, I could go anywhere in Europe on their passports. Now ours just have to have a particular worming tablet some time in the month before travelling out there. 1 Quote Link to post
gasaxeman 167 Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 Cheers for the reply I know what you mean about costs done a bit of research and it seems you can issue a dog from the uk with the old style pet passport new system is just a money making scam. especially as a large number of vets do not do the animal health certificate. Had both of mine jabbed up only to find the vet doesn't do the certificates as its a long winded process. Was planning a trip out in March to see my lad who is in the FFL plus a few more trips besides . Quote Link to post
Flacko 1,737 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 What about bringing in from N Ireland Quote Link to post

Whoknows 162 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 You can’t use old passports you have to use the health cert. £130 per dog per trip, and they need to have the rabies jab etc. it’s a nonsense to punish us for Brexit. There are ways around it luckily Quote Link to post
