If you are heading to France with your dog, there is some pre planning you must do as it takes up to 8 months to get a Pet Passport. This is a slow process as there are a number of steps involved including microchipping, vaccination and blood tests prior to gaining the all important EU pet passport documents. It also doesn’t come free, costs are in the range of a one off £150-£200 but that compares pretty well to other options such as kennels and pet sitters!
In addition to the passport there are some veterinary requirements for every journey to France. Before the dog is able to re-enter the UK it must be treated against ticks and tapeworm between 24 hours and 48 hours before being checked-in for your return to the UK. This will cost approximately 50-80 Euros and the vet who completes this procedure for you will stamp the passport and give you the paperwork for the travel operator. If you don’t follow this process your dog will be put in quarantine upon arrival back in the UK.
So, with just a little pre planning you can take your dog on holiday with you and your family. If you are looking to stay in France with your dog there are some superb dog friendly holiday parks in France with suitable dog walking and exercise areas.
