We have a Romanian immigrant dog that has a euro passport with an indate rabies vaccination.
Any idea if we can we take her to France on that passport and avoid all the brexit shit of having to get a health certificate at vast expense.

Image not showing, surprisingly!
Watches with interest, as the dog is the only member of the family who's still has an EU passport 🙁
I have nothing to add other than a picture of your dog
(you need to right click, open image in new tab, then copy the address that now ends in .jpg)
Thanks for the dog picture.
Yes, as long as your vaccinations are up to date, you are good to go. We have 2 proud EU rescues (both Romanian but one was re-branded as Bulgarian in order to bypass restrictions for export of dogs from countries bordering Ukraine after the Russian invasion)
Yes, it’s all pretty smooth.
The ferry company will ask you in advance for the dogs details. You’ll need to get rabies boosters in the country of the dog’s passport at some point in future.
Our little fella is Austrian now after finding a friendly vet in Leogang.
I’m jealous of your dogs passport.

Also jealous of your dog. Could I rebrand myself as German to bypass restrictions for export of humans after the Brexit?
That is good news.
So @colp do I understand you correctly. if we want to keep using her passport we have to take her all the way to Romania.
Not sure she would be too keen on that idea.
Just read this article implying any EU country will do.
If we get the holiday booked we might try and find a vet where we are going and see if we can get boosters sorted
Don't you need recent certified rabies jabs every time back and fourth?? For the dog I mean, not you.

They’re logged in the passport, I think only needed every 3 years.
You need a worming tablet to get back into the U.K.
Yes just keep the rabies jabs updated in an EU country. Spain and Portugal are cheap and easy to get these done but check they do a 3 year booster as a lot of EU vets only do the 1 year.
Our Beti gets a yearly rabies jab in Spain and has a Hungarian passport. Last year we messed up the timing and had to pay £180 for the certificates.
F@@k Brexit.
Bugger.
Just re-read her passport. As myti says her rabies was for just one year so has expired.
So sadly we will have to go the whole hog and get her done here and get a health certificate. Close on £300!
Just wondering. Could we still take her passport, find a French vet and start it again to avoid this grief next time.
How about a short break to Ireland and get then done there
Isn’t that oddly the same scenario thou:
U.K.gov website says :
Arriving in an EU country or Northern Ireland
You’ll need to go through a travellers’ point of entry when you arrive in an EU country or Northern Ireland.You may need to show your pet’s animal health certificate or a valid pet passport, containing proof of their:
microchip
rabies vaccination
tapeworm treatment (if required)
Just wondering. Could we still take her passport, find a French vet and start it again to avoid this grief next time.
TBH the U.K. gov should have done an agreement to allow U.K. vets todo the rabies shots.
But yep.
A lot of people were actually picking up eu pet passports for their dogs whilst on hols in France for this very purpose as an eu pet passport makes life easier and cheaper, the only nuisance is having to make sure the rabies jab is valid.
