Travelling to France with my dog
Hi we are looking at travelling Newhaven to Dieppe in July on LD ferries and wondered if anyone could recommend a vet near to dieppe that we can use for the pet passport requirements needed to travel back to the uk.Also does our dog travel in our car on the ferry? This is the first time we have travelled to france and would appreciate any tips that anyone could give to us regarding any topics especially thinking of things we may not have considered. Looking forward to your replys.
Hi again,French yellow pages can come in handy if you have not already used them -http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/trouverlesprofessionnels/rechercheClassique.do;jsessionid=889C7CBB7982805619C47FD9311BA04C.yas01g?idContext=821526573&portail=PJRegards.
Hi, thanks wanderer your replys really helpfull. Many thanks.
Pets travel in the car on LD lines.Remember the vets treatment has be be give more than 24 hours but less than 48 hours before the ferry departs.
Before you go, it's worth doing a little bit of research as to the dangers you ( or rather the dog ) can face on the other side of the channel dependant upon the time of year you intend to travel.One thing you MUST become acquainted with is the terrible effects that contamination by Processionary Caterpillars can cause. Just feed the two words into Google.Here's a good starting point .http://www.motorhomefacts.com/ftopic-3825.htmlOlly.

Hi Oliver, yes I have looked this up and it does seem something to take into consideration and I hadn''t heard of them before. Thanks for pointing this out to me.
Christine, we took our dogs to France for six weeks or so last year. It was the first time we''d taken them abroad. When I got home, I set up www.dogtravelblog.co.uk which tells of our experiences and gives information which we found difficult to find before we went. We had a great time and I am itching to do it all over again and to visit the places we didn''t get around to. Just need another six weeks off work .....!Helen

Many thanks for your blog. This is invaluable information and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. You cover all questions that I also have been worrying about. Many thanks for taking your time to write this blog and also for answering my question. Hopefully it will also be of great benefit to others.
I am wondering if anyone can tell me who checks dogs LEAVING England. I may have to take a puppy to France in the near future and it seems there is conflicting advice. The pup would be remaining in France (with my brother) and if it is a long drawn out process to get it the required paperwork I shall have to look after it until its ready! I understand what is necessary for a dog returning to the UK but can't find out what is necessary for one not coming back!
Hi Christine,Sorry can''t supply the details you are looking for, someone will be along soon I am sure with a web site or two with listings.As a tunnel convert wonder if you have considered giving it a try? we are actually travelling in June and including the dog the cost is
