Hoping someone will be able to clarify. Having had our 2 dogs immunised against rabies and purchased pet passports earlier this year, we took them to France for our 1st main holiday in the MH. I have been thinking about venturing further afield next summer and Germany is the number one choice......but..... an Internet search on taking the dogs to Germany has thrown a spanner in the works. Everything I have found seems to suggest dogs rabies immunisation has to be less than a year prior. The pet passport lasts for 3 years ( i.e. the length of time the rabies jab is valid for) and while I understand its purpose is to get my dogs back into the UK and Germany may have more stringent rules, it seems a bit odd that the Germans would insist on annual rabies vacs. Can anyone help because the DEFRA site quite naturally concentrates on the requirements to bring your dog back into UK ?
