?? Travelling With Animals ??

[nortada]

Daughter is just about to return from Spain, by road, with the family pooch and has been advised by a Spanish Vet that the dog will have to be purged for tapeworm and have another Pet Passport for the return journey. The dog only travelled to Spain on Brittany Ferries just over 3 weeks ago.

Question, does a pet passport last for just a single (outbound) journey and how long does pet passport last?

Must say, the vet in London seemed singularly ill informed.

Suspect from here on the dog will be will be holidaying at Walton-on-the-Naze!

If the dog has been outside UK for more than 120hr it requires a new Tapeworm treatment before re-entry.

A Covid vaccination is not required (as the OP is in the Covid sub-forum)

If the pooch is travelling by sea that might make the thread boaty enough for the COVID forum- but too boaty for the Lounge.

This is the Covid Forum.

Why is a thread about pooch passports and tapeworms on the COVID forum?

I thought this thread was about cheap charter flights.

Finger trouble - should have been in Liveaboard Link.

If the pooch stays in an EU country for 21 days the easiest, and legitimate, route is to get it an EU passport and ignore the UK system altogether. Still need the tapeworm treatment, though.

Correct. We are currently in Spain. Once we get to Cascais we will sort an EU pet passport for the dog. At least one of us will then be able to roam freely without all the stupid restrictions.
