Bringing a dog to Spain
 

Hello
We are looking at bringing our dog to Spain in about 3 months time.
We will be driving from the UK, via France, and have found a link on the spanish website that only shows admissions via ports and airports.
Does anyone know if we can drive through any frontier, with the correct documents of course, as the only frontiers shown seem to be in Marocco?
Thanks in advance.

I'd not book a ferry ticket just yet.

Can you please share the link of the Spanish website?

Thanks

As a result of Brexit, UK Pet Passports are no longer valid for taking your dog into EU countries. I believe an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) has to be obtained from an authorised Vet not earlier than 10 days before your intended date of entry into the EU. To avoid having to repeat this procedure every time I take my dog to Spain, I intend to get a Spanish Pet Passport for my dog from our Spanish Vet the next time we are able to visit the Costa Blanca. The UK still accepts EU pet passports for animals entering the UK so my dog would then be OK for travel in both directions through the Eurotunnel and no further AHCs should be needed..

Permitted ports of entry to the EU are here:

and Spain here:

It would appear that there are no land border points of entry which makes sense because you should not be arriving at a land border without first having arrived at a port, airport, or train station.
