Travelling with man's best friend!!
I saw a post on travel with dogs a while back, but that was for research for a book. Personally, I am interested in people's experiences from the administrative/regulation point of view.
We live in Tallinn, Estonia. We now have a Ural outift and we plan firstly to use this to possibly venture into the Murmansk region of the Kola Peninsula, but future plans also include a big ol' trip to Siberia.
One of the reasons we bought this bike is because we wanted to get a dog, but we did not want this to stop our love of travel in its tracks.
Pretzl the dog has been tagged, vaccinated and will soon be neutered. She has a valid EU animal passport. If we cross the Russian border are there any problems getting back in without poor Pretz' having to be Quarantined? We recently met up with a fellow HUBBer and that point was raised as a possible concern to consider.
Crossing to the UK, I can understand the quanrantine thing, being a Rabies-free island. However, most other European nations have land borders which mean little to wild animals, so would there be much point imposing re-entry restrictions on domestic pets?
There not being a point to it, does not mean the powers that be have not decided to impose terms regardless.
So, if you know anything about this, or have overcome this issue, yourself, please post a reply!!
Cheers,
Of course, if she always pukes in the sidecar, I goin' by myself!!
