hey fisz. or some one how is health care in poland. talk to later

Honestly chuck, I don't know. However, I did have to catch an ambulance to the hospital for some stitches and it was about 100zl. Then I had to visit a private Dr. for an xray which was 39zl (USA more than a few hundred) and each visit after that was 17 zl.....so, I think it's A-OK but I think someone living there will be able to help more.

You pay at least 3X more than that with insurance in the US.
What were you doing?????

I am coming to Poland (back actually, i am of polish decent) from the US with two Silky Terriers and i must say these postings are a great help (with the exception of the poles as pets comment).

My dogs have all their shots and are microchipped. I am just wondering what exact procedures do i need to do to bring the dogs in? what paperwork? who, if anybody, do i need to notify? and any other advice that you may give. Thank you all for any advice.

Regards.

LOT Polish Airlines allow animals (dogs and cats only) to be transported as checked baggage in the passengers' cabin or in the aircraft's hold. The animal can be accepted for a carriage provided the following requirements are met:
Veterinary Vaccination Book, an Animal's Health Certificate and other documents required by the country of departure, destination or transit to be presented to the respective authorities;

Carriage must be performed in a suitable container in compliance with the size and weight of the animal;
The weight of the animal carried on board may not exceed 8 kilograms container included;
The intention to transport an animal on board should be reported in advance at the time of passenger booking. The service is paid and the charge is payable at LOT Polish Airlines booking and sales offices or at the agents'
The number of animals carried simultaneously by one plane is limited. LOT Polish Airlines also provide transportation of other animals as a cargo.
Passengers traveling with PETS cannot be assigned seats in first rows of class of service.


Once in Poland, you go through customs, show your papers and that's it.

just bring a leash and tie it around the nearest pole. he'll be your pet as long as you supply him with vodka and coniac

dO YOU GUYS KNOW HOW OLD A PUPPY HAS TO BE before it can be vaccinated against rabies? I am trying desperately to import a puppy to Australia.

A PET Passport is required. This has to be obtained from your vet prior to travel. It will take about 7 months to obtain and become valid.
Step 1 - Mircochip dog
Step 2 - Vacinate dog against rabies
Step 3 - Blood test alanysis
Step 4 - If all is well, issue Passport
Step 5 - Passport becomes valid 6 months after date of vacination

Important: Ensure booster is obtained prior to Passport expiring else you will have to start the procedure from new.

On returning to the UK,
Step 1 - Have dog treated for Ticks and Worms. Any vet can do this in any EU country.
Treatment must comply with DEFRA stipulations.
Ensure the vet records the microchip no. and enters the details into the Passport
It is important that the EXACT time and date are recorded when the treatment
was administered.
Ensure you obtain a stamped certificate from the vet before leaving
Step 2 - Travel to the UK MUST be made within a 24 - 48 hour window after the
treatment was administered in Step 1.

If you fail to meet these requirements the dog will be held at port by customs and
quaranteed for 6 months. This is expensive

For precise information visit the DEFRA website

Good luck

Interesting.

My wife just had a dog chipped, issued a passport... and then travelled the following day.

It's much easier when you live in Poland and travel to neighbouring countries... as the dog already had documents with a record of Rabies jabs, etc.

Some of the UK's rules are beyond stupidity.

My dog was taken from outside a shop in Edinburgh by a Polish guy yesterday. Why did he take her? the street sweepers had called the SSPCA but before they could arrive, this guy said it was his dog and dragged her away.
Did he think he was rescuing her? What happens to stray dogs in Poland? Did he want a pet? What else? We are offering a reward for Bess.

Cos it's Easter time and dog is on the menu? ;)

Seriously, I hate people who believe they can do this. I've always kept German Shepards untill now as I have a Boxer Lab cross. Last dog I had a trucker pulled up outside the house and took my dog from the garden. Luckily the neighbour took down the trucks details and we got her back, but the bare-faced cheek of it!!!

Jesus, that would be grounds for getting shot in some places.

It is! If I was there, I would have blown a fuse. On a different note, Just outside Drumskinny one farmer had 3 sheep stolen, the guy was an older farmer, he found out who done it and shot most of their flock. Weird part of the world I live in at the moment:D
