In anticipation of our Grand Tour 2007 I am starting to do some research on the countries that we want to visit.
One of the places on my list is Norway (arctic circle and all that) , in fact we would like to tour all the scandinavian countries. Norway is not in the EU however you can still take dogs there and return to the UK under pet passport scheme. However, I was reading on another MH site (sorry!) that there may be more stringent requirements for actually getting your dog into Norway.
I have looked at the Norwegian Embassy info and it reads as if additional blood tests may be required and more worming. I will probably email them to clarify it exactly but before i do I thought I would ask the question: have any MHF member been to norway with dogs and if so did you experience any problems or extra requirements?
I looked n to this once and found that the ports of entry for the UK to be limited, mostly via the southern ports.
Are there any direclt to Norway that cover the pet pasport scheme ?
No there are not. There are also extra formalities for Sweden

This topic has been raised before so if you do a search you may find it. I cannot remember the advice other than it is not so straight forward as taking them to EEC countries. I suggest you contact the Norwegian Tourist board or Embassy.

I have had a reply from the Norwegian Ministry of Ag to my enquiry about taking the dogs on holiday. For anyone who is interested the requirements are for the dog to hold an EU Pet passport and to have had the anti-rabies vaccine proved by blood tests. You don't need extra blood tests taking provided you always keep the dog's boosters for rabies up to date in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Before entering Norway the dog must have tapeworm wormer certified by Vet up to ten days before entry. If you stay longer than seven days dog has to have tapeworm wormer again whilst in Norway.
I think Sweden is the same, but am awaiting a reply from them. All other EU countries seem to just require EU pet passport, I am still researching so if I find any more differences I will post.
I think we will include Norway on our tour programme - the requirements are only slightly more onerous to coming back to UK. I don't think we will actually get to Scandinavia until 2009 so it'll be a long wait to find out how we get on in reality!
the last time i tried to take dogs to Norway the sledge failed its MOT
Sorry...not much help am I?
