Taking home food with you into the EU

I just wish it was easier to decipher. But UK rules are as bad.....my store cupboard will get an overhaul before the next trip and anything contentious or debatable will be removed. Just a bit irritating when it is clearly packaged as from the EU to start with :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: . Have brought a few tins in Portugal which we didn't use, but can't take them back again.

Find out what is available there and here and start introducing it before you go.

And p msl at limited diet, I've seen dogs eat some proper random stuff 🤣

Edit, these brands are the popular ones

That would be a good idea in theory, but I‘m afraid I wouldn’t feed my dog any of these. The popular foods are often popular because people have seen the adverts, but the quality seldom matches the hype.

if you take the first example, pedigree, I did a search for their small dog food (which is closest to what I feed at the moment). Most plentiful ingredient is cereal, which is just a cheap filler, followed by ‘animal derivatives’ which they then helpfully describe as being 4% chicken “in the brown kibbles”. So, depending n the ratio of brown kibbles, less than 4% meat.

I'm pretty sure your dog won't care, but hey ho, the UK has many great places to visit instead👍

Oh, the dog isn’t fussy. I’m the fussy one about what I feed him.

I agree. Most commercial dog/cat food is not good.

Seem to be an awful lot of pets these days suffer from diabetes.
Can't prove it myself, but my gut instinct tells me there's stuff goes into some of the more well know brands which definitely shouldn't.

If they were illegally feeding cattle meat in their feed, which caused the emergence of BSE in humans, I suspect that such bad practices will be continuing.

It's not just the human food chain we need to think about (and pets can't tell us if their food is affecting their health).

I have asked the question about foodstuffs that originally came from the EU into the UK and whether we can carry them. It might enable us to carry some milk for a cuppa en route, for example.

I had a reply back from the EU and we even if food has originated in the EU and is marked as such, it cannot be then taken with you back into the EU.
 
Someone needs to start making Bamby pies, apparently deer are pests in Scotland. I bet they’ll taste better than frogs legs.
