Taking dog back to UK

[EmilyB]

I am hoping to take my dog to UK in March for 3 weeks. She has a blood test and rabies vaccination - we travelled to Spain last year - but her microchip was only inserted in Jan.
I wondered if anyone had any experience of the border controls & how rigorously they check the paperwork ?

Many thanks

Emily

Inspection at channel borders varies a bit, but it's usually fairly rigorous. Talk to your vet - I think you'll find that you need to have the dog checked and certified within 24 hours of the time you cross the channel.

I think we still have to wait for the right changes, traveling with pets is quite difficult, we all encounter paper problems.
