Are there any Europeans frequently here?

@GayotFow what do you mean? I am European but not that regular in this room. (If I were I would not work at all.)

My wife wants to take our dog to Greece next winter

I have raised a dog here and in Germany, but really no clue about taking holiday

Taking your dog out of the UK is not a problem, you need a pet passport and some jabs, as well as a chip under its skin. Getting the dog back home is a bit harder as it needs rabies jabs and those take more time somehow.

Let me find a link

telegraph.co.uk/travel/travel-advice/10759585/…

It mentions a rabies vaccination for travel both ways, I am sure the UK is harder to get into than most of Europe.

Or look at this link: rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/general/holiday

You need a passport? For a dog?

My wife conjectured a passport was needed. I thought she was joking

Yes, not a passport as for a human but a piece of paper which gives chip numbers, vaccinations and so on.

Is called pet passport.

Thanks, I am saving these.

And you need to check how to travel that allows dog. Some airlines do, how depends on line and size of dog.

You need to get her a collar!

Before returning to the UK, a dog must have a tapeworm treatment between 24 hours and 120 hours (one to five days) prior to your scheduled arrival time at home.

In most countries you need to keep your dog on a lead, collar is most common for that. If you use something else to keep her on a lead, you may use that instead of collar

6:12 PM

we use a harness

Her collar is made from amber stones and too fragile

Most people do not bother taking a dog for a short travel, also as it is often no fun for the dog to travel. But some love it.

As long as you leave the harness on when not on a lead, that is OK.

Collar of Amber, is she a show dog?

Not ready for the shows, but 5th generation champion

11 months

And we will never show her anyway :)

She might prefer a stay with a breeder (visiting relatives) over seeing the ancient monuments.

Yes, but my wife suffers

How old it the dog or in other words, how long has she been part of your lifes?

6:16 PM

since about 10 months, but my wife suffers anyway

she worries all day and it's not enjoyable

She has not had to leave the little one often enough to have gotten used to it. I hope the dog loves traveling.

roughguides.com/article/…

Once we left the cat with a breeder and had to return early

Not sure whether that is helpful, but I think it is fun to see it is available.

We used to bring our dog to the pet rescue center where they would take care of it for the duration. Dog was always well behaved when we returned (for a day or two)

Thank you very much. I will study these articles

Google for some horror stories of dogs not enjoying travel if you want to leave it home. Otherwise, ignore those.

And check the place you want to stay, not all accept pets.

6:24 PM

Yes, the hotel must accept pets - no question about it

Do you plan to fly or go by car? (Train is not possible, with dog, as far as I know due to rules in France)
