pet passport

Hello all, i'm confused about the pet passport scheme. apparently you can travel to Isle of man on a ferry freely to and from the mainland, but do you still have to have a pet passport, i can't seem to get an answer about this anywhere. I currently dont have a pet passport.

There are no requirements for pets travelling directly between the UK and either the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

Just been to my local medivet. They want £54 for rabies vaccination and £90 for the pet passport. I believe these prices are exorbitant. Just in case a Brexit deal not agreed, a blood sample and blood test will be required. In the event of a no deal, the total price will be £300.
Any thoughts?

Shop around!
That sounds expensive.
I had to buy a new pet passport for one of my dogs earlier this year as the worming pages in the old one were full- what a rip off. I can't remember what I paid for the pp but it wasn't £90.
Just checking my cc statement it looks like it cost £35

Both dogs had a rabies booster last year- again it wasn't as much as you have been quoted.

When I bought pp originally 4 years ago the passport and the rabies vaccination came in at around £60 in total.

You do need a pet passport for travel to Eire- silly really as no one checks and there is a land border- but there we go! (Sorry in 4 years we have been stopped once, but that was in Crufts week)
