Since Brexit EU Pet Passports issued in the UK have been useless so before we set off for France we had to get a vet in the UK to sign a 16 page Health Certificate so Cfor could enter the EU. It cost an eye-watering £161. Yet another BREXIT win from Boris the clueless tosspot!!!
On Monday we took Cfor to a local vet in Lagos and for £27 he got a fresh rabies injection and a Portuguese EU Pet Passport: how much are UK vets be coining?
