Taking your Dog to France on your holidays?
What's more the introduction of the PETs passport has made it much easier to take your dog on holiday to France. You will need to do some pre-planning though, because getting all the paperwork completed is a slow process - it can take up to 8 months to get your Pet Passport. The steps required include microchipping, vaccination and blood tests at a cost somewhere in the region of £150-£200 (although this may prove to be less than your kennel fees). There are also a few steps to do when returning from your holidays such as a check by a vet before returning to the UK and treatment for ticks/tapeworms - this avoids a quarantine stay when you get back.
What all this does mean, is that with some pre-planning you can take your dog on holiday with you to France without concerns about returning home with your pet.
