Pet passport for pampered pooches
You may have finally got your hands on that perfect French property but getting the beloved family pets out there may prove a struggle unless you get to grips with the rules.
The EU has recently introduced new laws for the importation of domestic animals and since 2004 there are three main conditions which must be met.
For any cat, dog, ferret or carnivorous mammal, owners must provide identification for their pet, be this a clearly readable tattoo or microchip under the skin.
A valid vaccination against rabies must also be carried out which includes the first injection and boosters. These will both be recorded it the animal's passport which is needed to get into France.
This EU pet passport, which confirms a rabies vaccination has been delivered by a government approved vet, will also provide certifications of others vaccinations done in the past.
Despite this, the valid rabies vaccination is, in fact, the sole requirement for pets from the UK to enter into France.
Kittens and puppies under three months old cannot be vaccinated for the disease and are therefore banned from coming into the country.
Vets in France also advise that treatments for tapeworms and ticks are carried out for the health and comfort of your pet.
Pet birds, reptiles, insects, fish and rodents including rabbits and guinea-pigs will need to have a certificate of good health issued in both French and English which is approved by a private vet.
