- What do I need to bring a pet to France from the UK?
- Your pet needs a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination, and an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) issued by a vet no more than 10 days before travel. The AHC replaced the old EU pet passport for UK-issued documents after Brexit. Once in France, register your pet on the I-CAD national database. Tapeworm treatment is not required for entry into France.
- Do I need to register my pet in France?
- Yes. All dogs and cats must be identified (microchip or tattoo) and registered on the I-CAD national database. Registration is done through any vet and costs around €10 to €15. Certain dog breeds (catégorie 1 and 2 under French law) have additional requirements including a permit, a muzzle in public, and a behavioural assessment.
- How do I find an English-speaking vet on the Côte d'Azur?
- English-speaking vets are most common in the Nice and Antibes areas. It's worth calling ahead to confirm English is spoken before your first appointment, particularly for anything beyond routine care.
