Here is a list of vets recommended by members of Passports for Pets.  http://freespace.virgin.net/passports.forpets/Vets%20in%20Europe.htm

There are a few listed in Brittany.  Just remember the forty-eight hour rule.  Your dog must be treated against ticks and worms no less then twenty-four hours and no more than forty-eight hours before embarkation.

I think you should look at the DEFRA site and study the details regarding the Pet Passport. Also you should check that your PP is up to date and all sections have been completed correctly.

Sorting out the treatment on the way back is only one of the hurdles to be jumped.

When the passport scheme first started, it was quite hard to find a vet who was actually authorised to do the pet check/worming/etc. but certainly it is much easier now, so don't panic.  I think these days pretty much all vets are able to undertake the work.
