I’ve mentioned this one before. My wife’s vet surgery has stopped doing the paperwork for this as it’s more trouble than it is worth with clients that think they’re being ripped off. Of course they are, but by the decision to leave the EU, not by the vet practice.


Pet owners face paying hundreds of pounds when they travel with their dogs and cats to holiday homes abroad because of post-Brexit red tape.

The European Union no longer accepts the entry of dogs, cats or ferrets with “pet passports” issued in Britain, even if they were issued before Brexit.

British pet owners must instead now pay as much as £180 for an “Animal Healthcare Certificate” from a vet. The exact price depends on the surgery. The certificates are valid only for four months, so all but the most frequent trippers are likely to have to pay each time they travel.

Because of technical problems yet to be ironed out at Irish borders, pet owners who travel to Northern Ireland from the British mainland also need to obtain the certificates.

The rules came into effect in January last year but went broadly unnoticed as coronavirus restrictions made it virtually impossible to leave the country for anything other than the most urgent travel. Only now, as restrictions around the world are lifted, have the new rules started to bite.

Not sure I would count this as a negative, fewer Brit tourists able to take their barking dogs on holiday with them, sounds like a win to me.

What about us sighthound owners?
Sighthounds don't bark....

Interesting, a dog that doesn't bark, I suppose, you cannot say "it's bark is worse than it's bite".

Sighthounds are stealth hunters. Whippets, Greyhounds, Saluki etc. and most lurchers don't bark under all domestic circumstances.
Our Whippets don't bark until we go lure-coursing and then one gets a bit vocal.
At home and in the camper, perfect peace :-)

Their bite is fast (known as snap-dogs) but not strong.

Whilst I get your point, 60% of people in Newark voted for Brexit. Sympathy does become a little muted when it is for those who have shot themselves in the feet.
Even if they were lied to ?

Well yes. They had a choice of who to believe.

Professors Cox and Hawking, almost every actor and comedian, almost every accountant, political analyst, and economics expert

or

Boris Johnson, James Dyson, Nigel Farage, Tim Martin, Priti Patel, and the Right Said Freds.

Forget the pros and cons being argued - just look at the people arguing for each side. It isn't rocket science.

If you choose to believe liars lying, then don't be surprised when your brexit banquet turns out to be plates of mud.

I laugh my tits off at people like you all the time, you think you know whats best for the country but the 'thicko racists ' keep 'winning '.

I don't think thicko racists know what is good for the country, they win but the country loses. They are, therefore, not a genuine cause of hilarious mammary gland disposal.
