Hi, we bought a Spanish passport for our dog at our local vets, 35 euros much cheaper than the 40 day paperwork, brought dog food with us no problem, we were not stopped at the French or Spanish boarders.

Hope you have a good journey

...year in the Valencia region, the rest of Spain last for 2 years.

Both our dogs will get their rabies jabs in April next year in Spain, the yearly booster jabs administered in the uk are about half price in Spain.

Dog food, we brought with us in July about a dozen tins, no checks were made at either of the borders, in Oct we brought 36 tins, again no checks were made.

Hope this helps.
