lucky you, i am a bit pissed off that we had jabs done earlier this year and this was never mentionedI'm clearly lucky to have very organised vets who think about their clients! Little Un had his chip done with his tet jab last year which meant no additional call out fee and was, I think, about £20/25 and they sent of all the paperwork too.
Ok so I’m a bit buggered then, I never got Belles passport changed to my name as it involved sending to Belgium and if I wanted her to have a UK passport I needed to have her graded or something ridiculous, as far as I know she isn’t on the CED but to be honest I don’t even know what that is?
What annoys me Gary is that all of mine have passports but are having to be redone to comply, they are all chipped except Aimee who is 33TBH even though I have sorted mine out I think its a huge waste of time anyway. Those who dump horses aren't going to register chips to themselves and the majority of people who have non UK passports either won't know that they have to do anything, or won't bother anyway.
Same with dogs - I see dozens of posts a week about found dogs with either no microchip or out of date details.
We cant get one of our dogs changed, we tried. It was my nans dog which we inherited but the rehoming kennels have closed and my nan passed away so nothing can be confirmed. Ridiculous system.Same with dogs - I see dozens of posts a week about found dogs with either no microchip or out of date details.

well that is making most French passports illegal which is really unfair given they should be recognised in the UKFrom looking at the advice on the BHS site they will be rejecting it for several reasons - the silhouette needs to be certified by an accredited vet, the horse has to be signed in or out of the food chain, and the passport has to be bound. https://www.bhs.org.uk/advice-and-i...rse-passports/overstamping-a-foreign-passport
i have not received my info pack from the as yet and i have a 33 year old donkey in the same boat as TobyThe whole thing is a farce. The deadline in Scotland is March 2021. I got the Scottish government information through just before I had baby 5 weeks ago. They actually ask you on the information to send it back if you no longer have a horse (to send to someone else knowing the SG, great in this time of covid!). No horse is exempt. I've already argued about Toby who is 27 and freeze marked. Chips weren't available when I bought him, and I've no intention of putting him through unnecessary procedures.
