Zipnolan, you may just be the person who can help me. Following on from that very useful post, do you have an idea of an average cost to get all this done to a dog before returning to the UK from France? We were all set to go to the Tour de France at the beggining of July having got Marmite his passport, but are now on a very limited budget due to our daughter annoucing her wedding date! Hubby desperatly still wants to go to watch it, but need to cost everything first!

Vet in France

Hi
I've just been checking my bank statements for last year but must have paid in cash.
My very bad memory says that it was about 40 euros. I know it was quite a bit more ezpensive than Spain which I think cost about 25 euros. Mind you I did know the Spanish vet quite well. Sorry can't be more help.

Thanks Brian, that is much better than I thought it might be. I had tried web searches and got all sorts of possible fees including an extra 100 euros consultation! France may well be back on this year then although I have now been planning a route north to the lake district and scotland for our two weeks off!
