Our dog is just about to get his Pets Passport and so we are hoping to take him to France / Holland / Belgium in our motorhome next June.  Any advice on sites and places to go would be most welcome.  Also any addresses of Vets, for the tick and worm treatment before we come home.

Hi Lynn

Most campsite adverts & websites tell you if pets are allowed.

We allow them & there is an English speaking vet in the local town.

I've done a search for a post I made a while ago on taking your pets abroad (specifically to France), and added more useful info (hopefully) to it! Hope this helps....

Visit the DEFRA website for up-to-date info about the Pet Travel Scheme.

Have a look at Daytripper for more useful tips and info, including special offers on Ferries etc. Also costs involved for petcare products overseas. Very useful site.

See Le Dog Stop for more useful info.

Dogsaway also has good info, and a useful 'step-by-step' guide to obtaining your pet passport. They can arrange a vet on your behalf, but will charge for it at £27 per appointment, and £15 per subsequent visit. Expensive when you consider that quite alot of the French vets speak very good English, making it easier for those with little or no French to deal with them.

Petplanet has a section with details of vets in Germany & Italy. Useful site.

Ok, here's the numbers...

Remember that your pet MUST be seen by a vet no less that 24 hours prior to departure and no more than 48 hours prior to departure from France. Most vets that we've encountered are very pragmatic in their approach to stamping your pet's passports. So don't stress about getting exact times for your stamp!

Most campsite owners will know of a local vet who can stamp your passport, just ask them. When travelling around your chosen holiday area, keep a lookout for a Green Cross with the words 'Cabinet Veterinaire' outside the surgery.

Our vet in the local village also speaks excellent English, as do the ones in nearby Longué, and also in Saumur.

If you're on holiday here in the Saumur area, then the vet there is situated next door to the Sésame store, on the Route du Mans, heading north to Le Mans from the town centre, just before the roundabout to turn left for the Intermarché!

Very informative info Floydfan, one thing to watch out though, the vets in and around the ports are much more expensive then inland, you also will have to wait around for the 24-48hours as well.

Will keep this info for next year as we have just got the passport for our dog.

Hi Andy,

you're right about the vets nearer the ports being more expensive. I've hinted at that in the post too. That was one of the reasons I tried to get numbers and addresses for the regions of France, so that folks could see the vets at their chosen holiday destination rather than being held to ransom closer to the UK.

Glad you found it useful!

Thanks very much for some useful advice.  Will print it off and put it in the 'van.
