My husband and I are planning to come over to France in a few weeks ( for a few weeks ) to look for a house. We want to bring our dog with us and have looked at the Defra site for information. We are pretty clear on what's required to bring him back in, however I have one last query.
I understand if your dog is in France for more than three months it becomes French resident. When you get to the ferry port to go back to the UK and check your pet in, how do you prove how long you've been in France?
Do you need hotel receipts etc or do you just have to sign a declaration to say how long your pet has been in France, or is this something that is not even asked?
I want to make sure I am fully prepared for anything they might ask me so anyone who knows the exact procedure at check-in would be a great help.
Many thanks
