Has anyone travelled to the EU post brexit with their dogs?

I'm trying to get my head around the paperwork. I am going to Ireland from the Manchester area to visit family, and I would've liked to take the dogs with me. I asked my vets and they said they're not doing certification as it's too complicated and it would cost a lot.

Has anyone in the NW managed to find a vets who are doing it routinely enough to bring the costs down (I was quoted about £400 per dog and I have two)? It certainly makes the kennels seem like a bargain! Especially since the permit only last for a couple of months.

I know this isn't likely to be high on the politician's agenda to sort out post-brexit but not being able to just scan their passport and go on our merry way is a right pain!

Thanks.

We did when we moved from the UK to Poland, because of Brexit.

I think the vet I found charged about £120, but it was in 2020.

@Mrsherdwick - any chance you could name the preston vets? Thank you!

@79andnotout It was Lanes Vets in Cottam, Preston. Sorry I’ve not replied sooner but contracted bloody covid so have been a bit out of it.

@79andnotout I'm about to use one in Liverpool..£156 I think. Medivet - I think their Alder and Orrell Park branches do the AHC. Appointment takes about an hour

They probably have branches in Manchester but not sure if your dog needs to be registered with them already?!

Ooh great, thank you both! Hope you;'re feeling okay now @Mrsherdwick
