Brexit just got personal...

[ericonabike]

So... just rang my vet to book an animal health cert to take hound with us to Spain (hopefully!) in September. The cost? £250!!!!

And if we wanted to go again, even within the four month validity, we'd have to pay another £250. As opposed to the three year passport we still hold for him.

Anyone care to explain to me the benefits of Brexit I am experiencing that will offset this?

Phone around, other vets will charge less, I was quoted 150 but didn't go in the end.
Lots of threads on this if you do a search

An interesting post. But was there any need for the trolling last sentence?

Also of you're going for over 3 weeks get a French passport when you arrive, same as the old UK one lasts 3 years

What for you, or the millions who dislike the EU?

(sorry Jim)

A vaccine ?

The UK's self certification was actually done within EU rules while EU rules still applied.

The choice of vaccines was also up to the country. E.g. Slovakia has vaccinated lots using the Russian Sputnik vaccine.

So no, Brexit made no difference to vaccinations.

See what you started there. Now your useful thread has gone down the Brexit Rabbit Hole, and if there is a better way of getting your dog away your less likely to find out.
