Hi Rachel,

You need to check the EU pets website to check you have all the correct documentation. If this is a bit confusing then Defra is another site to check.

It varies from airport to airport where the animals are left for collection so the best thing to do is to check with the cabin crew on your outgoing flight and then again with the ground handling agents waiting outside the aeroplane when you land. But be warned your dog could still be unloaded with the rest of the luggage and put on the carousel as this has happened to quite a number to people! This also happened to me but my animals were none the worse for it.

Provided all your paperwork is in order all of your fees will have been paid at the UK end and there is nothing further to pay here.

Hi Gary

I am going to import my dog into Spain in August this year and want to check a couple of things with you please.

1. My dog will have a Pet Passort from the vets in the UK. Does she need to have any other documentation to bring her into Spain?

2. The airline that is flying her over is ThompsonFly - where do I collect her from once the plane has landed?

3. Are there any fee's that I will have to pay on entering Spain?

Many thanks
Regards
