[NAGDU] Urgent question, traveling abroad with guide dog

[Dan Weiner]

Good questions, I'm trying to find info, myself, for an eventual trip to
several countries of the EU and I get so much contradictory stuff, anyone
know of a definitive source for this info, I am led to believe that if one
goes about the process of a pet passport or something you could travel to
any EU country...anyone have experience, thinking of visiting friends and
going with theem to a few EU places, though that may be in the future and
indefinite, still I'd really like to know what I'm doing.
Good luck, Thomas, with Hungary, I bet it's doable and I have a contact in
Canada from Hungary who has a guide dog, I'll se if he'll actually decide to
write me back when I write him about this and I'll try to get you guys in
touch if you'd like, if that is something you'd like, my Email is:
dcwein at dcwein.cnc.net

Yours,
Dan

Does your dog have the kind of chip required for travel to Europe, the Home
Again chip?  It may have other names.  
I've been told that a dog needs a chip, and a rabies vaccine after being
chipped.
It's my understanding that the dog has to be seen by a USDA qualified vet to
fill out the paperwork.  I googled "USDA qualified vet" and found a few in
my area, but your area may be different.
For travel to Ireland, the dog is also required to be treated for tapeworm
within roughly a week before travelling.  Don't know if it's the same for
Hungary, though.
Good luck.
Tracy

Hi,
Sorry for the cross post, just would like to make sure I get answers due to
the short time I'm working with.
The situation is that I'm scheduled to travel to Hungary on May 10 with my
guide dog.
I received some information on what paperwork I need to have filled out, but
it is pretty confusing.
I have an appointment with my vet on Monday morning to fill out the forms.
I would like to make sure I have everything covered and I don't need to part
with my dog along the way.
I called each airline I'm traveling with, and had them add a note that I'll
be traveling with my dog. As I understand, it is not necessary, but I heard
too many horror stories recently.
I called the USDA, and I was advised that since they don't have a desk at
the Cleveland airport, I need to send them the forms to be certified.
I need to give these forms to a certified vet, within ten days of my arrival
to Hungary.
One form is an English-Hungarian bilingual form about non-commercial animal
movement:
https://www.aphis.usda.gov/regulations/vs/iregs/animals/downloads/hu_pet_non
_comm_fil_hc_ab.pdf
The other is the dog's health certificate.
Is this the APHIS7001 form? Is this different from the English-Hungarian
form?
Is there any other forms I will need?
I also read that I will have to enclose a check, but when I called the USDA
they never told me about this, I only found this info online today.
Is this correct? Who do I make this check to?
Is this the correct address I need to send the forms to?
12927 Stonecreek Drive
Pickerington, OH
The forms and instructions do not contain an address.
Thank you for all your help!
Tom
