User no longer member. Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 We are moving permanently to France on 14th January and the dogs and cats have their passport so far... rabies jabs, inoculations up to date. We don't intend to bring them back so haven't gone for full passport (wasn't time anyway, we can sort that out later if plans change) - do they need anything else to get them into France? What about flea and tick or worming treatments just before they travel?We have chosen to drive through the night and go through Eurotunnel so they won't be left alone in the car. Trip should be interesting as 1yr old Spriger Spaniel terrified of the car - others are fine though.Any thoughts welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louis Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 When we brought our 3 cats and 2 dogs over from England we didn't go for the full passport either. When we arrived at the port in Plymouth we were just asked that we were not coming back into England for at least 6 months which we confirmed and we were waved through and not bothered again. There was not another check done on the french side. As far as I know there is no need for flea, tick or worming treatments to get them into France.Good luck with your springer, we have one and is mad as a hatter.

The number of sad posts with "Unexpected change of plans - pets need a home because we cannot wait 6 months ..." is depressing. It is cheap, easy and a real safeguard. Circumstances change, plans change (not always by choice and not always in a predictable manner) so a few euros on a one-off blood test could save your pets having to be re-homed in France should the unexpected happen.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
