Berniea Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 We're heading to France in just two weeks time, taking with us 3 dogs. Are we likely to encounter problems getting onto sites with 3 dogs? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Some sites will only take 2 dogs (some nil) Best to check before you arrive. The ACSI book does state if/how many dogs allowed. Most will charge . Some sites ban large dogs (not sure how big) Going to be ex[pensive holiday!! and ferry PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mildi Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 There are a lot of sites that don't charge for dogs, we decided not to charge as we expect the owners to clean up after them and we are not providing anything for them that has a cost to us (maybe a dog shower later) some will have a max of two but we found that they are very easy going about most things on the whole and it is not peak season. Best to phone or ask as a lot could depend on the size of the dogs. Agree the channel crossing and vets will be pricey but not much you can do about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takeaflight Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Don't worry we take Two large dogs, we just book in, we don't mention it and the site owners have never said anything, you may also see mentioned in the books about vaccination certificates, again we have never been asked, anyway we haven't any. You come across lots of campers with three dogs, France must be the dog tolerant country in Europe. My only advice is always check the date in their passports that the French vet as entered before leaving the surgery. Go and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berniea Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Feedback: We're currently in France heading down to Bordeaux (ish) and so far we've stayed at three sites on the west coast. At check in, we've informed the reception staff that we have three dogs and out of the three, only one has charged us - and even then they only charged for two dogs because the computer wouldn't allow three dogs to be entered." Computer said no". Seems there isn't a problem of any kind on French sites with dogs. All three sites have been ACSI sites (which I have to say are cheap as chips.... well almost!).
