Dogs from France to Spain

[thunderhorse]

Our two dogs came to France on a one-way ticket i.e. not on the Pet Passport scheme: microchipped and certified healthy.

As we have the opportunity to go to Spain visiting, do France and Spain have the same sort of schemes?

Check with your vet, but you obviously need to get them a pet passport, they are already microchipped, so should also be vaccinated, especially rabies.

... by the way, Thunderhorse, are your chips now registered here at your present address?

Gambling chips? Fish 'n' chips? Crisps?

Ah, those chips. Oui. As soon as we got here. Straight to the vet. [;-)]

I live in Spain, though we did live in France for several years before. We regularlytravel between the countries visiting friends and although you should have the full passport ,we have never been stopped,( who would stop you ,and where ? ) so long as you take the vacination book with you I don't see a problem, .There are a lot of ticks in southern Spain ,so it's only common sense to treat the dogs as you proberbly do now.

Our French neighbours work in Madrid and are of the same opinion - they travel with two dogs regularly...

But I suppose it's the same old story, if anything goes wrong... [:(]
