The passport will stop in 2022 once the electronic ETIAS system is in place.

Travelling with dogs is now (even more) expensive than before.

Thanks, useful information.
Where's the bit that says E.U. passports for dogs will cease to be valid? (mine were issued in Germany, using our address there). Ta muchly.

The two things weren’t connected. 🙂 You're one of the lucky few having dogs with EU passports. I was talking to friends visiting their French holiday home last weekend and they too had been pleasantly surprised that their two Romanian rescue dogs had saved them lots in vets fees because their EU passports were still valid.

Ahh, sorry, wasn't following. Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, it seemed a good move to get the EU passports for them. Mind, I wonder how long it will be before they close that 'loophole'. As for expense, you're right, it's already cost us more than otherwise would if we still had the old Pet Passport scheme!
