moving

[roberta post]

Would like to move a dog from Africa to EU. Apparently dogs are allowed into the EU with the chip and pin system, spending 6 months under house arrest, boarding with a family until deemed rabies free for travel to stricter countries like UK and Ireland. Has anyone tried this?????

Hi there,
no I haven't, but I know someone who has taken a dog from the States to Europe and it is quite an involved process.
Good luck with it.

That information should be useful, Annie. I don't think a distinction is made between a dog that is moving back and a dog coming in for the first time.
