They have good feedback.

Hi, I've just signed up to post this link:

Ruddington Veterinary Centre, Clifton | The Vet Collection

Visit Ruddington Veterinary Centre in Clifton for clinical expertise that's always focused on your pet. Call now to book an appointment 01159 212155.

ruddingtonvets.co.uk

That's one of the "good guys", now charging £250 for the first pet and £50 for any additional pets (up to a maximum of 5).
Travelling with 2 animals means 300 AHC + ~100 (or more) for rabies: minimum £400, and it lasts 4 months, basically single travel.

I think the other "good guys" prices should be updated, as I think they've all increased their prices.

http://www.animalhealthcertificate.online and https://www.passpets.co.uk/ are apparently still charging £99.

This thread was started back in Feb when the AHC system was very new. I don’t believe any of the original ‘good guys’ have kept to their original prices, which becomes clear if you read the whole thread. The two vets you list only set up their specialist AHC services in late July, see below:

PassPets Animal Health Certificates

The thread started in February but there are updates until September, there are also reaction while the prices are increasing through the year. Apparently you're assuming I didn't read the thread but I did, if there's any mention this "good guys" have increased their prices I've missed it, I just wanted to update for those who, like me, thinks the initial post is kept updated, like when somebody mentioned a vet in Peterborough which has been eventually removed because of the wrong prices reported.

See posts #9, 20, 24, 50, 57 and 60 in this thread. All are referring to increases in original ‘good guy’ prices or, in one case, that the particular vet is no longer offering this service.

On this forum, you can only edit a post for (I think) up to 30 minutes. So there is no way that the original post in this thread will be updated.

Unfortunately Paul Jarman Veterinary Surgeries, Norfolk. Is now charging £110 (August 2021)

I have discovered that many vets are feeling embarrassed about being greedy crooks and are trying to pretend that DEFRA is making a charge of £100 - £200 to register a certificate once the vet has done their 15 – 20 minutes of work.

Anyone know of an honest vet in Norfolk?

Paul Jarman now charging £135 per dog. Feb 2022

I contacted about 10 vets in the East Sussex area for AHC prices last week, the best was www.cliffevets.co.uk/ who quoted £65.

I just called them its now 121GBP per animal (no discount for more than one)

I know. I’ve done it.

Do you need a fixed EU address? We travel very regularly to EU (France, Belgium, Spain, Germany) but in the motorhome; we do not have a fixed address?

 

[Ej]

Or get an EU passport for €11

Amazing, isn’t it. Are there any of the original vets on this list honouring their earlier quotes?

Ruddington vets no longer issuing AHC, they don’t have a qualified vet

No address requested when we got ours. I think you either lie and provide any address, or keep trying different vets until you find one that isn’t bothered

5. Vets4Pets, County Road, Hull, E Yorks: £33.00 consultation + £12.50 AHC = £45.50 (assume for 1 pet but may cover more)

Hull Vets4Pets

At Vets4Pets Hull we are dedicated to offering your pet high quality, affordable care. Click here for further information & contact details.

www.vets4pets.com

They are charging £12.50 for the AHC plus a consultation which is £33.00 - he didn't ask if the AHC charge was for a single dog or not so I'm assuming it's per dog, although happy to be 'surprised' by them if it's just per certificate (up to 5 dogs).

Hi, Ive just phoned them to check and they now charge £174.95 so its gone up a bit unfortunately.

Hi and welcome to the Fun!

This is an old thread (started in Feb last year) so if you wade through it you will find that all of the prices have gone up considerably. There are a couple of vets that have introduced a streamlined AHC service at what now passes for a reasonable price of around £100 - PassPets at Havant and Abbeywell at Folkestone. Other than that there have been a few vets mentioned that charge similar prices - Dales Vets in Otley comes to mind.

 

[Phill D]

Are you travelling via the shuttle or Folkestone/ Dover?

 

[InvictaMoto]

It seems there are a few threads about this AHC price issue on here. I've only started to look since my quote from my usual local vet in Faversham Kent went from £150 in June to £280 yesterday when I tried to book an appointment at the end of the month.

Well worth a few quid in diesel/petrol and go to Abbeywell In Folkestone.

We live in Weston super Mare and Green Pastures vets here were charging £105 a couple of years ago. We have a Spanish passport for our dog. To get him abroad we were travelling from Portsmouth so got AHC from Passpets in Havant who were excellent.

 

[InvictaMoto]

I wasn't answering you unless you live in Faversham..... Did you not see the quoted post from Reboot?

No it certainly does not, particularly as my response was to invivtavmoto, he was answering a 2021 not you

 

[Red Sonja]

UptheGas . No its not impossible to get a EU pet passport. I got one in Ireland. Others have got them from a vet in Belgium. Spain and Portugal seem to issue them OK. I think France is a problem now. There have been a few vets who have joined the likes of Abbey well and Passpets in offering cheaper AHCs. One was in Scotland abd another I think in the Midlands. If you do Facebook there is a group on there that has posts on AHCs and also EU pet passports.

 

[InvictaMoto]

It would help if posts that have gone cold in 2021 and re-opened again in 2022 weren't re-opened ad infinitum.... #77. We all made a mistake!!!
