Who's Bringing the Horse to France??

Macspower

Or should I say... who's bringing the horse dog to France..

We're thinking of making our first trip to France in the next few weeks.. but our Dog must travel everywhere with us! If he can't go neither can we

Question is can he go on the campsites? We are actually responsibe dog owners and he is the best behaved boxer in the world... ( not that it makes a difference)..

If the answer is yes then we'll start planning and you can be warned there will be several stupid/newbie France style posts int he next while!

some camp sites are petfriendly, some aren't. don't know any off the top of my head but i'm sure you can find a list on line, or source a travel guide for dogs
bon voyage!

He'll have to stay in a kennel on the ferry although I have heard of people leaving him in the camper during the crossing.
France is generally very dog friendly, even to the point where people bring their dogs into restaurants.

Howdy,

I'm bring the wife and child to France in September. If I had a horse I'd bring him along too

We're staying at Les Grand Pins in Lacanau. I've stayed there before and I know they are very dog friendly, even having seperate showering areas for the little buggers!

Here is also a list of vets at french channel ports:

Hopefully you'll not be needing them!

After that I have no idea what else is required. I've just ticked new campervan off my list, dog is next on there at my wife's request so I'd be keen to hear how you went.

Does he need some kind of dog passport or something... (serious question)?

fits

yes he does. And to get the passport he needs to take a course of rabies vaccinations, which takes 7 months unfortunately. Too late for this year. You can bring him to the UK though.
