    Need to get two dog passports & rabies vac I was told by my local vet that it will cost €200 for them. Is this the normal price or can I get it cheaper as things are tight this time of year.

    It's a little bit pricy. Def ring around and get a few other prices but some vets will charge more.
    If you can get a local country vet they might do it a little cheaper.

    Are they microchipped already? If not then it's ball park.

    Yes have them chipped a long time now. That was the correct price she wrote it down for me and all.

    Cost 70euro for ours, that included the rabies shot, passport and a pre-travel check but we were only going to England, 200 euro is a joke though ring around some vets it should be a standard price so they can tell you on the phone. (based in Cork)

    Edit : didn't read that you needed two so make that 140 I guess, still a big difference though..

    €140 wouldn't be so bad that's a fair price. Where are you based? I'll be driving through france etc all in the EU so the price shouldn't change depending on where in the EU you are going

    Based in Cork, but I'd imagine you should be able to find a somewhat similar price if you ring around a bit.

    Totally agree €100 per dog is really steep considering it doesn't include microchipping. Really shouldn't be any more than €75-80 per dog OP. Why not ring your vets again and query the price. It was probably the vet nurse gave you the quote and often there is a bit of wriggle room, particularly if it's two pets instead of one.
