Does anyone know what the real regulations are regarding travelling to and from Spain with a dog? I believe the UK are saying we need to provide 4 months notice to take a dog to Spain but the control is surely with Spain, not the UK!

Ideally I would like to be referred to official Spanish and UK sources for information - though I accept things may change depending on the final negotiations currently underway between the UK & the EU.

Thanks in advance!

Colin

Hi Colin,

This link takes you to official guidance on the UK government's website:

Thanks for the link. It looks like we will have to wait to see what results from the current negotiations.

Do you know where to find the official Spanish rules/guidelines?

Brexit - what have you done??!!

Hi Colin,

There are links to EU Pet Travel Regulations and the Pet Travel helpline in the link I've ready given you. Also, the post-Brexit UK regulations are written to ensure that your pet can return from the EU to the UK, so EU regs don't take precedence over UK regs, or vice versa - they are both relevant and work in tandem. Unless you're not planning to return to the UK?

Kind regards,

Kim

Thanks Kim - I have now found the EU section!

We plan to move to and from Spain regularly so the more information we have, the better.

Take care,

Colin
