Brexit and taking dogs to Southern Ireland

Rowreach said:
The thread is about dogs. The link I posted at the start is about official guidance re travelling with dogs between the UK and Ireland in the event of a no deal Brexit. You have quoted practically every comment I have made and related it to humans and passports. I have replied (politely) every time to explain my (fairly obviously dog related) comments. And then I gave up being polite. Sorry.

Why did you quote and reply to post #16 , which mentioned passports for people and pets ? I had said that there would be no change for people (because there is an agreement in place ) but that the Irish government might decide to introduce mandatory pet passports.
 
Obviously for people the Common Travel Agreement will still apply.

However, according to DAMF, this is the latest (as of 9th Sept 19) news they have:
https://www.agriculture.gov.ie/brexit/preparingforbrexit/pettravel/

How and if this is applied remains to be seen. I very much doubt this stipulation will last for long :D

"Anyone bringing a pet dog, cat or ferret into Ireland from GB will have to give the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine advance notice by email before arrival"

And the answer to the email will be 'G'on you'll be grand...' :) I love the Irish attitude to rules and paperwork!
 
I have a very good friend who works for the Dept. of Agriculture who is now employed full time on Brexit related animal regulations and from what he's saying it'll very much not be "you'll be grand" on any animal transit.

My occasional forays across to UK horse shows will be a thing of the past I'm afraid.
 
I must say I'm particularly looking forward to getting/paying for the Govt Vet Health Cert in NI over Christmas/New Year...and another appointment for tapeworm.... :D

Update....on current sailing dates, thats a Christmas Eve appointment....nah...:oops:

It seems to be a shambles until they decide when and if and how it happens no one has any idea .My biggest worry is my one dog who is hyper allergic and reacts to a lot of drugs particularly wormers and flea preparations the vet has a long list of drugs they would rather not give him.He reacts badly to wasp and bed stings too!!!
he ended up in the vet hospital at 10 months old with anaphylactic shock after worming.All sorts of tests MRI and CT scans revealed an immune response after immune suppressants and drugs for over a year by 2 he was off all drugs and just fine after £5,000 in tests and treatment I don't want to trigger him again.He is now 8 and a half years old so wouldn't want to risk him .Will talk to the vet when more is known.Fortunately I took lifetime insurance cover when I got him at 8 weeks.
 
Well there is no reason to prevent dogs entering the ROI except the administration of the change when and if we leave there will be a period of chaos .
However there is no reason for us to have any issues moving dogs into the EU we don’t have any diseases for them to worry about , the boot is on the other foot .
So if the EU should choose to end movement of pets it will only be spite .
So take it will be a question of take your dog and enjoy your holiday in the UK .
It will however be awful for people in Ireland .
