    Government Regulations - Pets travelling to Ireland

    Dogs, cats and ferrets must have an official recognised EU Pet Passport with veterinary endorsements certifying compliance with tests, treatments and vaccinations. The endorsements must be dated (including expiry dates), stamped and signed by an authorised Vet.

    Regulations:
    Microchip.............
    Rabies.........
    Tapeworm Treatment
    Tapeworm treatment must be administered between 24 hours (1 day) and 120 hours (5 days) before scheduled arrival time into Ireland.


    Government regulations - Pets travelling one way to France or any other EU Member state

    The minimum requirement for dogs, cats and ferrets crossing any EU border is:

    Microchip
    EU Pet Passport with veterinary endorsements certifying compliance with tests, treatments and vaccinations.
    Rabies ........................

    Tapeworm treatment is only before bring a pet into Ireland.

    So no requirement to have the treatment before you leave Ireland - but has to be done before you come back.
    Surely it's easier to bring him to a local vet instead of searching for a vet in France whilst on your trip?
