European PET Passport.Anyone had experience of getting a European

European PET Passport.

 

Anyone had experience of getting a European Pet Passport for a dog in Italy (or possibly France, when we drive down)

The current rules for entering EU from the UK with the dog means we need to get a Health Certificate for it every time we would enter into France on our drive down.

If we could get a EU pet passport,  it would be easier and cheaper over time.

We aren't intending to bring him down this year, but next year - definitely. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi. On my last trip I went down to our nearest big town. They have an office called ASL. It is the central veterinary clinic. 

I had some paperwork to show the house purchase etc. 

Initially the man said petpaspports only for residence, after looking at all my papers he said okay and processed to register my dog on the Piedmont chip register charged me 5eur and have me an appointment to return in 3 days with the dog at which time the vet would scan the chip etc and produce the pet passport. 

I left feeling very pleased with my self.... 

 

 

Unfortunately 1 day later I received an email advising me that as a non resident it was not possible to register the dog.

Disappointed.

Plan b is to find a local to register the dog etc and I will draw up something to say he did me the dog. 

I have another dog,  adopted in the UK that has an EU pet passport. 

Interesting response, Clueless in Italy.

I've been reading some web entries about holiday home owners [non-resident] in France. easily getting their dogs an EU Passport

May try my luck with a friendly vet in Italy on our next doggie visit. - its worth a punt.
