[nagdu] Europe (was: Two blind Toronto women were booted from aflight to Europeon Canada Day after they refused to muzzletheir guide dogs.)

I've been to the UK twice in the last few years, and haven't had any
trouble.


The biggest problem is that your dog has to receive a de-worming treatment
close to your departure date, and the treatment has to be verified by a
"federal vet."

The treatment has to be given no less than 48 hours before departure, yet no
more than 5 days.

Also, the dog has to be chipped, and a rabies shot has to be given after the
chip has been implanted.

Once everything has been done, you have to send copies of your paperwork to
the UK for verification, and you have to remain in the plane upon arrival
until an official comes and looks your dog over and scans the chip.

If you don't stay on top of things, it can be a pain, but it can be done.

Cheers,
Dudley, with Michener

Debby, we flew out of New Jersey and into Munich
a few years ago and didn't have any trouble about muzzling the dog.
Does England still have strict rules about bringing dogs into the
country?  I don't think I would take my dog if England were on my
itinerary.
