Doggy question

We are in Le marche at the moment with our two UK dogs, and I can't believe that the process is any different.  You need to go to a vet, and have tick treatment and some worming tablets given while you are in the vets, and your vet needs to date and TIME, and sign the passport.  The Time is extremely important.  You will need to arrive at Calais no earlier than 24 hours after the time stamp but before 48 hours.  THe passport will be checked by the vets at customs - including validating the microchip - only takes about 5 mins to do, and then you will be given permission to travel.  When we come from the UK the UK customs control do not seem bothered with dogs and there is no check.   Regards

Check out the DEFRA website , but the important thing is the rabies injection followed up by the rabies blood test, our dog Pablo was a stray from Spain, he needed to spend 7 months in kennels after the rabies shot before he could travel to Blighty. Pablo is now a regular if not entirely at ease continental traveller!!

Woops! If they have a pet passport then it's just the timing of the  Drontal and Frontline  application to worry about,our Vet in Rimini charges 20 Euros, very reasonable.We then drive up to Rotterdam within 36 hours to catch the ferry.
