I was at the vet today with my dog and overheard a conversation with receptionist regarding cost of certificate for dog to travel to the UK: £225! Would like to go when travel is back on the cards but this is a substantial cost to add. We live in greater London so I expect it's cheaper elsewhere. If we also needed to pay for covid tests ...

I've been looking at prices for travel from the UK (animal health certificate) and it's averaging at about £100, what I can't find out is what type of certificate you need to travel back to the UK for worming and examination, anyone know if there is a dedicated space on the AHC or do the European vets have a separate form to fill in?

No separate form that I'm aware of, will need to look through all the pages of the AHC.

You can use, if you still have it, the old Pet Passport for coming back. Ironic isn't it!

It wasn't all that many years ago that if you brought a dog into the UK it had to go into quarantine for a period to make sure it didn't have rabies. I can't now remember for how long but I am sure it must have cost a few bob keeping it in kennels.

If I remember right Bob, the period of quarantine was 6 months. Must have cost a fortune and been quite distressing for both dog and owners.

Judging from what my daughter has just had to pay for an emetic pill from the vets for her vastly overweight cat, you got off lightly.

They charged her £318!

She could have had the fat slob put down for far less.

So it's looking like the Pet Passport is far from being obsolete but very much valid to return to the UK

Probably about half a crown in those days

As are our two. Our vet was unsure whether their Romanian passports would still be valid for travel as they now live in the UK, so I checked with DEFRA, who said (in a long-winded way) that yes, they are valid for travel to the EU from the UK and back again.

Yup, that's my understanding - you and I both have Europeans living in our non-EU homes, and they have more rights to EU than their humans!

Looks like it'll save us a lot of money as (in normal times) we go over to Europe 2 or 3 times a year.

There is a petition to the UK Government for the Pet Passport to be brought back. At the moment we're required to have our vet complete a form similar to those which are used for 'livestock' being exported!

Link to the petition for bringing back the Pet Passport

Please pass this link on to any of your friends who travel with their pets.
