Hi Zue, sorry; I am about to be of no help whatsoever, I just want to add my own question to yours ! We are likely to be going back to England this summer and I need to know how I can transport my son's two gerbils back with me. The thought of telling him that they have to stay in Spain is keeping me awake at night and making me consider smuggling the little rodents back with us on the ferry. Does anyone have any experience of transporting pets into or out of Spain ? F

Ireland to Spain- the ferry shouldn't be a problem. Just check with the Spanish Consulate or Embassy nearest you to see what papers you'll need. If you have to transit england, although they have a quarentine, as long as you're transiting and not planning any overnight... it'll be ok. Spain to England. The gerbils WILL have to go through quareninte  Its a 6 month stint, although you will have visitation rights. I don't know what will happen if you try to sneak them in and you're caught- could be a fine or jail time. I'd check with the British embassy if you're in Madrid and find out the details of transporting animals. Good luck to both of you traveling with your fur babies!

Far off in sunlit places,
Sad are the Scottish faces,
Yearning to feel the Kiss
Of sweet Scottish rain"

To get back to a serious note  . . .doesn't the pet passport scheme overcome the quarantine thingy? I refuse to move unless my two cats come with us (have already been teaching them miaow in Spanish, but they are slow learners) but don't fancy a six-months quarantine for them if we decide to return home. Zue, this might be some help: Taking pets to spain :ks: :ks:
Glory, glory to the hibees . . .
