Planning this years trip, talk about making life difficult , just going to stick to France so only one country this time thank's Brexit !! so need some answers going away for 6 weeks with three dogs, contacted the Vet they say do nothing at the moment 2 have pet passports and the pup has nothing, any advice ?? Vehicle green card, driving permit, health insurance, caravan insurance, holiday insurance the list goes on and on, we want to get planning book ferry etc, going away in June.....any one have any answers it is getting frustrating

KEEP CALM and book the ferry!! It will sort itself out with our wonderful Politicians on the case. Seriously I can see March 29th not happening the way PM is stalling. We have booked our ferry to Spain leaving mid May for 60 days woohoo

Hope you don't mind this observation and it isn't answering your question but couldn't help thinking that with three dogs including a puppy that the Chunnel would be a better option for you?
My only experience of dogs on ferries was taking my friends on the condor to Guernsey and it was very very warm in the hold and I have to say that the dog was in a bit of distress.
Your experience might be different in which case please excuse my butting in!

What countries did you need visas for Roger?

Don't know if you have read the government advice on dogs and travel after Brexit?

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pet-travel-t...cB&gclsrc=aw.ds

There it suggests that you need to be speaking to your Vet 4 months prior to your intended travel date! We are in a similar position with our dog (though we only have one) and are unable to make any arrangements until all this is settled. One thing is clear, is that we could leave the UK with no problems under the current regulation with the Dog Passport Scheme, however with all the uncertainty over the date of Brexit we could find our selves in Europe legally with the dog but unable to have him returned owing to the change in legislation!

It is a real bugger........Sensible heads say we will do nothing until the politicians have made their determinations!!

The thought of Randa jumping through hoops for anything is funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have booked to come to the UK in June so are considering buying a small inflatable to make sure we can get back

no need to buy one, they are abandoned on the beaches now.

I have booked to go on June 3rd and IF we have a NO DEAL BREXIT one of my dogs cannot travel on that date. Under the present scheme they do not require a blood test to see if the rabies injection has produced the correct rabies antibodies. if we become an UNLISTED country (see link in a previous post) another set of rules apply.They both got tested ( £180) last week and one dog failed. He was immediately given another rabies injection (£48) .We are now waiting 30 says for another blood test (£90). If he passes (no no guarantee) He will only be able to travel after a three month period from the blood test date. Regards Steve.

All things considered, it is too late to go down the blood test route as none of the dogs would qualify, if we get a deal we still have time to get a pet passport for the pup and carry on. If it is no deal we will leave the dogs at home and take a shorter trip. So fingers crossed for a deal .....
