Returning to UK with a dog
Has anyone done this?
How easy/straight forward is it? We have only been here 6months and all his innoculations etc are up to date. What can we expect at the other end? i.e. LHR.
Any advice would be great. Thanks.

I was easy and straight forward coming out here, but is it the same going back?

Just make sure that the rabies shots and associated documentation are 100% in accordance with the requirements.
We took one of our dogs on holiday to Europe once and very nearly had to leave him in Calais when the jobsworth at the ferry port didn't like the position of a signature on his pet passport.

Check out this link. I found their service interesting. Not sure how price compares to doing it yourself though?
