I am not sure if you are aware that from January 2015 the laws changed re passports and vaccination and time limit. We waited for this as I was a bit dubious but we tried it for the first time last April with our dog and our friends with their cats and thank god no worries! It was a simple procedure and all was very easy traveling so just ask at your local vets.

Hi there, it's easy to get a passport for your animal. Just take it to your vets who will fill out your details and give the appropriate injection. You only pay for the injection and a blood test the passport is free in our area of Valencia. The cat must be chipped as well.
good luck M x

Hello DonLochnagar.
As from one scared person to another. We live in Peñiscola, Castellon. When we came here to live I also had doubts as you here so many confusing stories. I believe we have the best hosptals in Spain. They are very quick, very conciderate and the treatment is second to non. We have been here 10 years now and my husband who is 73 and myself 57 have had to use them quite a bit and they have always been fantastic. So all I can say is do not be afraid by scarey stories because a lot of the time that is all they are. Here the doctors believe in preventive measures where they can so you get to see the consultant quite quickly and then the follow ups are great. When I first came here I had health problems that were declining in England. I have certainly gained by living here. You will love Spain I am sure. You will also pull your hair out with frustration sometimes but it will all be worth while. One thing for sure is that you do not see a lot of Spanish with stress problems and heart problems. So wherever you end up in Spain - Good luck.

Hi Everyone,
I read with interest all your comments and they are all from different sides of the same facet - so I am also going to throw my bit in for what it is worth. (We sold up 10 years ago (my husbands choice not mine) Did everything in our power to purchase safely and correctly. Still came unstuck after 4 years but that is another story. At the time my husband wanted to go home but we fought and came through not too bad. At the end of the day we used all this experience to help other people along the way so they would not have to go through the same things. If you open your eyes to all that is around you and and do as the spanish do it is not a bad thing it has made us good spanish friends and respect for standing up for ourselves. We do not go to places where the English hang out but it is nice to have it there if we want. The spanish are very good at adapting when things get tuff. They also have big hearts and like to share things which helps when things are a bit tuff. We also have had to do the same as being on a pension we now find it really really tuff but hey ho, we cannot go to the same expensive restaurants as we did do but we still go out for Menu D. D. We have our house up for sale as we need something cheaper to run so we are down sizing but still no thoughts of going back to England - I love the way we live here and the versatility that we can change our life and still survive. Sorry to say that we could not survive in the same situation if we were living in England we would probably be out on the streets (if we could not afford to pay our bills) Where here there are still cheaper options to live and enjoy the special secreats that Spain holds you just need to look. I guess by now that you can see we adore spain and we do have our eyes wide open to all its faults and paperwork but it just one of life's rich tapestry and as we learn we share with others. I have really change since living here, I have become more adaptable and more forceful. With patience and a smile and fire in the belly we usually do all right. For an English person
