My dog’s Pet Passport is no longer valid, following Brexit. So my vet has said they will charge me £125 for an animal health certificate which we’ll need for our trip to France in early September. The vet needs to see the dog a full 10 days before travel - she needs this amount of time to complete the 9-12 pages of documentation which makes up the AHC. The AHC is only valid for 4 months, so the rigmarole needs to be completed for each trip from the UK to Europe (assuming the AHC expires between trips). My vet has suggested that the dog could obtain a Pet Passport in France issued by a French vet. Apparently the cost would be in the region of 15 Euros. As we’re visiting a friend with a holiday home in France we’re going to give this a try using their address. The dog will then travel on future trips as though it’s French.
Has anyone else tried this approach?
