Does anybody have experience of the worming procedure for dogs before returning to the UK, such as costs involved and recommended vets around Montmorillon (that would make a good name for a forum site methinks).
Any information would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Hi, We have literally just arrived back in the UK in the last hour with our little dog, oh and the family We just took our dog, for the second time to the vet on Rue Terrier Blanc for the tapeworm tablet. We took him for it last July too.
Your dog has to have it between 1 and 5 days, I think, of you returning to the UK. It has to be at least 24 hours after having the tablet before you can leave. It just cost us 42 Euros for the tablet and the consoltation. We took him for his tablet on Thursday afternoon and left France on Saturday morning.
I can highly recommend the Vet in Montmorillon. Both vets we have seen have been very helpful.
Your dog has to be fit and well. The vet asked if our dog had had any sickness or diarrhoea, which he hadn't. You must make sure that the vet has written the date and time that the tablet was administered in your pet's passport. I read a story on the internet of a lady who said the vet hadn't written that in, so they were refused entry into the UK until it was verified by another vet. They had to book into a hotel and leave the next day, after finding a vet...nightmare situation.
The vet checked our dog's microchip too this time, like they do when you leave the UK at pet passport control. Hope that's been of help to you. Good luck
