Pet Taxi Service – How to travel from the UK to France

If you’re planning a trip to France with your pet, there are a few things you’ll need to do to make sure the trip goes smoothly. Here’s everything you need to know about travelling to France with your four-legged friend.

Have the correct documents

The first thing you’ll need to do is make sure your pet is up-to-date on all of their vaccinations. This is important not only for their health but also for entry into the country. You’ll also need to obtain an international health certificate from a licensed veterinarian; this document will state that your pet is healthy and fit to travel.

Once you have all of the necessary documents, you’ll need to decide how you’re going to transport your pet. If you’re flying, you’ll need to book a direct flight or one with a short layover, as pets are not allowed in airport terminals. You’ll also need to check with the airline to see what their policies are regarding pet travel, as they can vary. If you’re driving, your pet will need to have a valid EU Pet Passport; this passport allows pets to travel freely throughout the European Union.

Pack essentials

When it comes to the time to travel, there are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind. First, be sure to pack enough food and water for your pet; they may not be able to have the same food and water while in France. You should also pack any medications or other items your pet may need during the trip. Finally, remember that your pet will likely be just as excited as you are about the trip, so be sure to give them plenty of attention and plenty of time to adjust to their new surroundings.

Be mindful

Although the French are well known for their laid-back attitude towards animals, some places may not be so accommodating, so don’t expect your pet to be welcomed everywhere. Despite this, dogs in particular will be welcome at most restaurant or accommodation venues, with few restrictions on where you can take your pup!

Arrange for a Pet Taxi Service
