I wasn't aware of any new type passports, sounds like a better idea than the bits of paper you get now. However I did bring my dog to France earlier this year via the Chunnel. She'd had the jabs, blood test, and certificate. Surprisingly though no one looked at any of the paperwork or the dog. They certainly knew the dog was with us because it barked at the Brit and French customs people. I got the impression that this lack of interest was normal, though I'm certain the real interest is when (or if) you take the dog back.We were handed details of where to take the dog for inspection on a return trip via the Chunnel, but there was no requirement for inspection going out. Perhaps someone knows of the minimum legal requirement for taking a dog out of the country?
