   hi bruno,

              we have 2 yorkies and have taken them abroad many times. in fact we are off to italy with them in a couple of weeks. we have never had any problems.we always take the dover-calais route as it means the dogs are only left for 90 mins on their own as they are not allowed upstairs on the ferry. it costs me £30 per dog and that is all you pay .you must get the dogs tick and worm treated between 24 and 48 hours before you return to u.k. if you want you can get that done and spend that time travelling back to the port (gives you an extra day at your site) you can also  take the treatment with you for the vet to administer (makes the bill a bit less) hope this helps you .

      Hi Tarten Trucker,

      Could you suggest a campsite close to Calais with easy excess to vets.

  hi bruno.

               we stay at gandspette in eperlecques and use a vet called dr.jean paulus which is only minutes from the camp. you can phone him as he speaks english and make an appointment . his number is 0033321884600 from u.k. the camp website is www.chateau-gandspette.com. this site is 30 minutes from the port. hope this helps.
