EU pet food import rules

[tkk]

Hi,
is anyone knowledgeable on any restrictions of carriage of dry pet food into EU? Orijen brand in my doggies case. Will be difficult to source it in France, I think. If it is restricted. I don’t fancy smuggling it.

There was an extensive thread on here a week or two back and ISTR that the regs were that pet food was allowed only if necessary for special dietary reasons.

There is a weight limit on dry food, but there are a few large pet food stores not to far from the French Eurotunnel... our cat requires special food for a kidney problem, but there are large outlets that sell the correct food.

Do a search on Google Maps... (found a link) http://www.animal-factory.com/magasins.html also https://www.maxizoo.fr/

TBH I can't believe that the Customs staff will be scrutinising the lists of greedyments for all food on board. Even if they understood the labels the queues would stretch all the way back to Will's mother's.

Not natural to feed a dog or cat a vegan diet..BUSBY.

Ridiculous and unfair to the animal.

We fed our pooch on dry food from France a couple of years ago, we didn't realise that it would make him hyper ... So just be careful and check ingredients. I'm more than sure that there are just as many alternatives in the EU as there are in the UK.

If the whole country went VEGAN the only animals we would see would be dogs,cats birds and insects and the countryside would virtually die.BUSBY.

But birds and insects (plus some other fuzzy mammals) are most of the animals in the countryside. If they are still there, would it be dead?

Birds that eat carrion would struggle,,many insects rely on animal droppings for food and if cows sheep etc don't graze our countryside it would soon be severely overgrown...BUSBY
