Taking a dog to Morocco

[Suellen]

Hi can anyone with recent experience tell me the procedure for taking pets to Morocco and more importantly bringing them back to Spain and UK. I’m thinking of wintering there this year but not without my fur baby. Thanks in advance

You'll need the titre blood test to ensure that the vaccination is still good. +usual passport stuff. Hopefully someone who has been recently can offer better advice.
You can also get up to date advice by ringing DEFRA.

Bringing your pet dog, cat or ferret to Great Britain

Bringing pets into Great Britain: pet passports, Great Britain pet health certificates, microchipping, rabies vaccinations, travelling with assistance dogs.

This will be post B****t, when (you and) your dog will be no longer EU citizens, but will just be third party citizens using Spain as a transit from one non EU country to another...Your UK pet passport will no longer be valid at the Spanish border so the rules may well change.

I don't know the answer to your question but I do know a British couple who took their cat to Morocco this year thinking they had got all the paperwork.
They didn't and the cat was quarantined at Algecerias for three months and then under "motorhome arrest " for three months before they could bring it back to the UK.
Then it sadly died.

As a British Passport holder and 'legal resident in France' with an 'EU Citizen Carte de Sejour', I asked my Vet to investigate the procedure for taking our dog to Morocco last year: Not worth the Hassle!

This year we are going to Croatia and we want to go to Dubrovnik, advise from the Vets' contacts, avoid Bosnia, only 15kms, but not an EU country and, therefore, same regulations apply as for Morroco. All depends if it is a Good or Bad Day at the border. For us no problem, we can take the ferry and avoid crossing Bosia territory.

I can give 'you chapter and verse' of the Regulations as they apply to EU Citizens, but after 'B----t Day ; who knows, a completly different Ball Game for UK residents..

Personally, I would avoid taking my dog out of the 'UK/EU' area because of my British Passport - despite the fact that Coco is Swiss and has a French Passeport - until such time as 'somebody knows whats happening' after 'B' Day'.

Similarly we are legal residents of France with EU Citizen Cartes de Sejour, UK passports and with a dog with an EU [French] Pet Passport. Our plan is to go to Morocco this Autumn but that may well be postponed until Spring when hopefully the dust is settled and any new procedures are known. Those with just UK passports and a UK pet passport may well be in more of a unknown situation.
