The vets speak some English. I've always spoken to the receptionist in French so not sure.
Appointment needed. Charges 30-45 euros depending on which vet you see!

Posted on 07/11/2016 11:03 by brian1Travelling to Italy in June via the tunnel with car and caravan. Obviously need a pet passport, but how do you go about vet checks for return trip two weeks later? Advice please!
A couple of things to be aware of:
- Italy is one of the places where Leishmaniasis is found. Also some other nasty things like Lyme disease make protection from ticks desirable. Fore those reasons a Scalibor collar or something equivalent is strongly recommended. This site gives a good guide.
- Italy isn't quite as dog friendly as the rest of europe and public transport often requires the dog be muzzled. Take one just in case.
- The best way to organise vet checks is to get the campsite reception to make the booking for you. WHilst most (not all!) vets speak some english the same cannot be said of their receptionists :-)
- After the vet has signed and stamped the pet passport check and double check that they've done it correctly. If you only find out when at pet passport control then it's usually too late to do anything other than get it done again and postpone your return.
I agree that €86 is extortionate. €30-40 per dog including tablets seems to be the going rate, Even so it's money for old rope for the vets.
PS: please don't be put off by the above - it's quite straightforward really and the dogs will love it

Thank you Brian for that excellent link. It gives a good outline of the problems that can be encountered on mainland Europe if your dog is not protected. I know personally because we have 4 dogs and one of them is leish positive. She is a Spanish rescue dog and developed the disease 2 years after coming over from Spain. I would recommend anyone going to Europe south of Lyon or Toulouse to see their vet BEFORE they go. That way you can make sure your dog has all the necessary protection for the trip.

86 euros per dog is ridiculous , ask around there are normally more than one in that area if you have to travel a bit more i would i would not pay that much. We have two small dogs and normally pay 40 euros each we have used the same vet twice now.As for 11 euros yes please we have never been that lucky maybe my age has something to do with it lol
