Does anyone know how much it would cost to visit a veterinarian in GE region to obtain a dog EU passport?

Thanks

I belgium and greece it was free, it is the same as his vaccination booklet.so it came with the vaccinations. being switzerland It will likely cost

Depends on what you need to get done. If you need the full treatment (rabies vaccination, microchipping, and passport) count on between CHF300-400.

Thanks for response. No, the vaccinations and microchip have been done already in a non-EU country. I guess I just wanted something Swiss/EU to avoid hustles. Also, I was told I need to register dog in Swiss AVIS tracking system during that visit.

Some vets do it 'gratis' when you book a consultation for something else, or as part of a new client visit. Your best bet is to call the Praxis and ask.

With all my newly adopted dogs I book a general check-up as a matter of course; in addition to the 'getting to know the vet' and the health stuff, we go over all the administrative fol-de-rol then as well. If the newbie doesn't have an EU pass the vet fills one out for me, transfering the vac. data, etc. (I keep the original proof in the passport, at least until the next booster.) He also adds the dogs to the ANIS database while I am there.

My vet just charges a general consultation fee for the whole visit, he doesn't break it down further - I usually figure on CHF 100.

I think I paid 50CHF each for my pet passports. If I had known it could be free elsewhere I might have protested. but, meh, it's done, I have it, and the world is a better place.

I paid 25 CHF each for my cats' passports. I didn't think ANYTHING in Switzerland was free!!!

England has more strict rules that the rest of the EU regarding rabis. It gets more complicated if you are going there.

And just a reminder: As of 1 Jan 2012 the rules for bringing a dog/cat/ferret/etc into the UK will be relaxed, in line with EU norms:

Heads-up: New UK PETS Scheme Rules

When we brought our dog over from the USA in Oct 2009 the vet bill was approx chf65. She had already been microchipped and had had her rabies shot. The vet did a quick exam, gave us the EU pet passport and registered her microchip for us. This was in the Zurich region.
