TAKING
YOUR PET ABROAD
With the Pets Passport Scheme underway and quarantine no longer
a deterrent, taking your pet abroad is now a real possibility.
So how do you go about it, and what are the pitfalls to avoid?
Here's some advice on taking your pet to Spain for the first
time.
Pet Passports: To get a 'passport' your pet must have a rabies
vaccination and blood tests carried out by your vet, who will
also provide an identity chip. You will be given a health certificate
around 6 months later. A few days before you return to the
UK you will need to visit a local vet for your pet to be checked
over to ensure that it is free of tapeworms, fleas and ticks.
You will be given a certificate to show that this has been
done.
To enter Spain and return to the United Kingdom with your
pet you must ensure that all vaccinations are up to date. Do
not leave your visit to the vets to the last minute.
VETS
These display a blue cross. Some now operate a 24-hour
service and there is an out of hour’s number. They will
advise on leaving the country with animals and which vaccinations
incoming animals will need to comply with current legislation.
All dogs must be micro-chipped and there are strict rules about
muzzling dangerous breeds.
