Hi

There is a UK based firm that will make the bookings on your behalf - for a premium of course.

I would follow the advice of asking the local tourist office.

Hi, just booked the vet in Ardres. Found e-mail address and used my limited french to try to make an appointment. The reply came back about three days later in perfect english. There also appears to be a camp site (St. Louis) about 1km away but it doesn't seem like they open until the 22nd March so will have to wait to see how my french is with them.

Hi, we had our two miscreants pet passported in May last year, we are going to France in July this year, will they need a rabies 'top up' before we go?

Cheers MnD Smile

When the PP started it was one year, but has now gone to every two years for France. Expect there will be someone who is more knowledgeable than myself reading this. Just know I was surprised when the vet said we didn't have to have it done for anothe year - Mardie

Mardie yes don't forget the tick and worm treatment must be done at least 24 hours before travel back to UK.

You only have between 24 and 48 hours to travel back to UK (that is when the dog is checked in at Ferry/shuttle). turn up after 48 hours and you will have to do the tick and worm treatment again.

CHECK PETS PASSPORT after treatment, make sure DATE, TIME, VETS SIGNATURE AND STAMP are all there and correct. They can and do make mistakes. As tick and worm treatment are on different pages double check, best to be sure before leaving vets.
