Pet Passport

All our animals had all the relevant vaccinations and were chipped etc before we came here, but it seems to take them back we need to go through the process again. Our Vet here in France even thought the English were over doing it by asking us to get them blood tested for Rabies and waiting for six months. They were already vaccinated against it, but we had to get them done again, wait one month and then get them checked to make sure that the vaccine had taken, if so, then wait six months before we can take them back to England. Doesn’t that seem like backward thinking – they were ok in England – vaccination worked so how could they catch Rabies here ! Well, that’s the way it is folks, so one dog and four cats took a whole morning in the Vets and an arm and an leg later, was sent away to wait for a month. Then back again for the blood test, then wait 10 days, then wait 6 months. “Déjà vu.” Then they just have to return to the Vets 24 hours before travelling to be wormed and de fleed.
