In Europe all dogs must have "Pet Passports" it is documentation of health exam, vaccines, wormings etc. You can neither cross European borders without one, nor can you export a dog from Europe w/o one. When we imported Quina, and KLM LOST her paperwork, including the passport, we had to have our shipping agent make an emergency call to the vet in Rome, to fax her paperwork to KLM, and in turn to US Customs .. (don't get me started on what dirtbags work at LAX Customs) . But no they will not allow a dog to be released w/o those passports. Also as far as the UK, the Brits have some of the most draconian vaccine / import/export requirements in the world. It is all about the money. Very strict. Very.
