Entering UK with our dog

[rf9ridrer]

Just a couple of questions, returning to UK via the tunnel end of February, we are Spanish residents, our dog is Spanish! she has a passport with all vacs up to date, we have been to our vets to make sure her chip scans ok, it did, she mentioned about her having a fit for travel document? Thought we just needed to get her a worming tablet?
Also, when booking the tunnel, there`s no mention of booking/paying for the dog?
Do we pay at the tunnel when she gets scanned or am i missing something? Thanks all.

When you go through the tunnel booking process it try’s to get you to add on load of extras, one of which is the dog. Select and continue. From memory it’s £22.50 each way for the dog now.

All you need is the dog wormed…nothing else with your Spanish dog passport.

All correct.

Just to add that the worming must be done within 5 days but no sooner than 24 hours before travel so if intending to get your vet to do it make sure you can get to the tunnel and booked-in in time.

Don't forget you need the worming tablet admistered by a vet and passport stamped between one and five days of departure

Thanks all, we are getting her done nearer to Calais as we are having a slow ride back through Spain and France with a few stopovers.
We are looking at the vets in Neufchatel En Bray, if anyone has any thoughts on them?

As previously stated but just to be clear, from having the worm tablet administered you have to wait 24hrs before crossing but must complete the crossing within the next five days.

 

[rf9ridrer]

Yes, we are aware of that, hence getting her done away from Calais, thanks for the info!

Think officially you need a fitness to travel cert to go between EU countries but as you don't stop at the border it doesn't get checked. No-one else bothers and I have never heard of anyone getting stopped for not having one.

I believe that the FTTC is only ever needed for permanently moving a pet from one country to another, not for holidays etc.
