What is needed to bring my dog to Tenerife on the ferry from Cadiz?

[olive20]

Hi
I am coming over to Tenerife in December for 3 months and travelling on the ferry from Cadiz to Tenerife
with my dog and i am trying to find out if i need more than just his passport to travel? He had his last
yearly injections in May this year so everything is up to date however i keep reading snippets about
a health certificate required for Tenerife but i can't seem to find out alot about it??? We are resident in
France and not the UK so travelling to Spain is straight forward but I thought maybe there would be more
requirements as Tenerife is an island. Can anyone help?? and has anyone travelled with their dog on the ferry from Cadiz ? i am
hoping it will be ok for him - i know its quite a journey but he would prefer to come with me for 3 months rather than stay in
kennels here in France!

Try asking your vet who will have the required info. for European travel.

hi Thanks Timmylish- i tried that but they just assumed Tenerife was the same as Spain therefore didn't require anything but i wasn't totally convinced after reading about a 'health certificate' for Tenerife so just wondered if anyone else had travelled with their dog on the ferry and what requirements were needed at the port of Cadiz??

Hi all my imports fm UK had to have H.C.

To be on the safe side do it anyway, its not expensive.

hi Pets@home
thanks for your reply - can you tel me if the health certificate has got a form number/name? i know this probably sounds stupid but i am based in France and i need to ask the vet here to complete one or is it just a general letter written by the vet stating that my dog is in good health? thanks
