Pet travel after brexit

[deltheblue]

Could anyone confirm that a animals who have previously travelled to the EU do not need a blood test

I've contacted my vet who does not seem to agree with this though that's how I read it from the gov site

His passport is up to date

My vet has recommended us not to take our dog on the continent south of Paris, not because of Brixit but because of leishmania, seems it's spreading and devastating or deadly and the current vaccine is relatively ineffective.

We have been told the same, was told to stick to Northern areas such as Brittany and Normandy.

We were advised by a Spanish vet in November 2017 that Seresto collars were now licensed to protect against Sandfly.

Research suggests it reduces Sandfly bites by 96%.

We've been told to make sure our dogs have a rabies vaccination as you can't travel less than 4 months from the date of their booster jab. They may require a rabies blood test at least 30 days after the vaccination before they travel which we are booking in at the same time prior to our EU/ Norway trip later in the year.

The rules for taking your pet to any EU country will change if the UK leaves the EU with no deal and is treated as an unlisted country.

You must get your dog, cat or ferret microchipped and then vaccinated against rabies before it can travel.

However, to allow effective contingency planning in the worst case scenario of the UK not being granted third country status, you’ll need to take the following steps to make sure your pet can travel after 29 March 2019:

1. You must get your dog, cat or ferret microchipped and then vaccinated against rabies before it can travel. Your pet must have a blood sample taken at least 30 days after the rabies vaccination. You’ll need to talk to your vet about whether you need a rabies vaccination or booster before this test.
2. Your vet must send the blood sample to an EU-approved blood testing laboratory.
3. The results of the blood test must show that the vaccination was successful (Your pet must have a rabies antibody level of at least 0.5 IU/ml).
4. You must wait 3 months from the date the successful blood sample was taken before you travel.
5. You must take your pet to a Official Veterinarian (OV), no more than 10 days before travel to get a health certificate.

If there’s no deal, pet passports issued in the UK would not be valid for travel to the EU.

You should contact your vet at least 4 months before you plan on travelling to any EU country.

A successful blood test is only required for first time travel to an EU country. This is provided that your pet’s rabies vaccinations are kept up to date with boosters before the expiry date of the previous vaccination.

Your pet health certificate would be valid for:

• 10 days after the date of issue for entry into the EU
• 4 months of onward travel within the EU
• re-entry to the UK for 4 months after the date of issue

On arrival in the EU, pet owners travelling with their pets would be required to enter through a designated Travellers’ Point of Entry (TPE). At the TPE, the pet owner may be asked to present proof of microchip, rabies vaccination and the blood test result alongside their pet’s health certificate.

I read the same however my dog has been to Europe many times and as it states he will not require a blood test but my vet says he may still do

We're going away early June but if he does require a blood test he cannot travel within 3 months of his test results

Can't win

Cheers I'll check it out

As it says its worst case scenario on the website, basically how a non EU country would treated. So it may not be required.

Exactly what I'm hoping

Ours had a blood test at xmas, as recommended by vet and he always has a collar but it’s still a worry.

Perhaps this is a good time to remind/let people know that, should you get into problems whilst abroad with officialdom, there is an option to repatriate your pet using a DEFFRA courier.

This is basically a service that involves a man in a bonded van meeting you at Calais and bringing your pet back into the UK and into quarantine.

It’s last resort stuff but handy to know it’s a thing.

We have that particular T shirt!!

Blimey, a bit like the Foreign Office sending Jonny English to get your pooch back then.

But good to know.

Did we actually see the baby?

Well indeed that irony had occurred to me, as I typed. But I thought it was a bit too far off-topic.

Tragic of itself, but just one of the maybe half a million people who've died in the Syrian conflict since 2011, the majority of them non-combatants.

Looks like we'll be stopping here til it's sorted then

I’m assuming you would be quite happy to send in one of your boys at some point in the future on this rescue mission.
I would prefer to be bringing Syrian babies and the mothers innocently caught in the conflict rather than someone because they were purely British and chose to be in the situation.

No. An innocent and blameless infant.

I have an older brother who served Britain between leaving school and his 55th birthday. The choice to serve was his own and he always had the support of our parents.

But that is irrelevant. I was simply considering the potential rescue of a post Brexit stranded pooch and the reliance on stretched Kurdish forces for the care of a British infant, which also involves the care of the infant’s errant mother for whom Britain accepts no responsibility.

Is no one responsible for their own actions and subsequent consequences anymore.
