ColinM50 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Google shows three in Cherbourg. I would guess each are as good as each other, the French are fnatical about their dogs and wouldn't tolerate a "bad" one. Just Google vets cherbourg and a list comes up or you could phone or email the tourist office, they speak excellent English, https://www.encotentin.fr/cherbourg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit concerned about your post. You don't need "dog vaccinations on return to UK," only extra vaccination needed is rabies which has to be done BEFORE you go. At present your dog needs a tablet for a fox tapeworm which doesn't exist in the UK, and has to be administered by a vet one to five days before you return. Suggest check with the ferry operator about dog staying in the motorhome on the ferry. Would urge you to look at the government website https://www.gov.uk/take-pet-abroad/pet-passport but bear in mind that the situation is changing with Brexit.

yoko8pups Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I always recommend contacting Defra with questions, even more so now. The vet in St Mere Eglise is very good and quite cheap if you have your own tablets with the correct active ingredient. There is very nice ACSI campsite very near.

StuartO Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 sandalwood - 2020-02-03 12:35 PM .... Are they ok to travel in Motorhome on Ferry .....Never taken dog before! He is 14 yrs! On the short Dover - Calais/Dunkirk routes and I think also on Portsmouth - Cherbourg, your dog has to remain in the MH. Our dalmatians have always taken this in their stride - they just take the opportunity to have a nap. If you dog is nervous without you consider using Eurotunnel, when all of you stay in the MH together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoko8pups Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 A friend told me yesterday that Defra had recommended that a requirement may be that you have to have the rabies titre test which gives you an official certificate showing the immunity is more than 0.5 and therefore the rabies vaccination has worked.

Conrad Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 yoko8pups - 2020-02-04 3:08 PM A friend told me yesterday that Defra had recommended that a requirement may be that you have to have the rabies titre test which gives you an official certificate showing the immunity is more than 0.5 and therefore the rabies vaccination has worked. I think this is more mis-information. Check the government website I listed in my earlier posting https://www.gov.uk/take-pet-abroad/pet-passport - my understanding that a titration test result won't be needed until the end of the transition period (31 December). You will have to work back and start the process in August: have vaccination, wait 30 days, have titration test, if positive, you can travel after 3 months. But if you are going this year present rules apply - no test needed after vaccination. What I cannot understand is why, on leaving the EU, the rules change, even though the disease prevalence hasn't.
