We have two dogs and travel to France regularly. Now, the pet passport worming pages are full and the dogs need new rabies jabs next month. We are going to France this week.
So, we rang our vets for prices.
Rabies jab at our vet is £32 each. New passport is £58 each
Phew!
Rang a few more vets and their prices vary wildly.
Another vet quoted us over £60 just for the vaccine but £33 for the passport.
So, we rang DEFRA about passport prices. They said they do not have a recommended price for anything, the vet decides how much to charge. They also said you can get the passport from any EU country.
We have a house in France and are registered with the vet there. Just rang them and they quoted €15 each for a new pet passport!
So, we are getting the rabies jab here. It lasts for 3 years ( if you have it done in France, it lasts only one year)
We are getting the new passports in France.
One thing that concerned me was the fact that the rabies jab will be in the old passport, but worming record will be in the new one, so we rang DEFRA again and they said we just keep the passports together.
So, if you need a new passport, it's cheaper to get one abroad.
Our vet in France is in Uzel, Brittany. I can highly recommend them if anyone is travelling through there.
