Well that's officially the most expensive vet ive ever used €72.60 to worm 2 dogs .

At least dick Turpin wore a mask


Last time it was €44

That's disgraceful!! Last time we paid 50 euros for our 2 in Milan and I thought that was a rip off.

Yikes! We just booked a Spanish vets near the border for £15 euros using our own tablets.

 

[Northernraider]

Supply and demand. They had it, you wanted it.
Still at least it’s done and less hassle for going into Europe in the autumn (depending how long it takes to do the self build)

They were only worming the dogs ...makes no odds for returning to Europe they weren't providing passports just watching me give my dogs a €5 tablet and stamping their exsisting passports.

Yep its always been under 45 for my 2

 

[Figaro]

I've paid around 35 euro for one dog before, the best I had was 20 euro near Brugges.
Its supposed to include a general examination, health check and passport stamp in the fee.
Nice little earner for the vets.
Probably closer you get to Calais the more they charge ?

.i notice its all new fancy high tech cameras they have on these roads now .... certainly not the old scabby ones i saw last

The last lot all caught fire.

Talking about vets reminded me that one French vet had a consultation price of 100€ with appointment or 200€ without!! When I came past at the end of 2019 they had closed down.Not surprised.

I think the one at maileraye sur mer ( or whatever it is ) was €22 per dog with the drontal bone tablet , the one at levante last year was €46 for the 2 of them. So i expected around the 40 -50 euro price ...but lesson learned as in future ill be asking price before i go

Should be able to get a lot more than that on the Aire you can get a second row on the roadside.
Carry on west down the road there is another Aire at Oye-Plage only a couple of miles.

Oh Please! the uk cant even make this part simple ..

So youve to book these bloody tests before you arrive ....you would think it would be a one simple press a button to order tests but no you've to pick one of w list of suppliers ...first 2 ive clicked on says no appointments available ???? What the feck does that mean ? Idont need an appointment its a bloody self test .
The next one says out of stock please try later ..

How complicated does this need to bloody be ?

I filled in the fench form in 2 seconds ...the uk one i cant fill in without booking these tests and its as complicated as every other stupid uk rule

As for the rules they are quite ridiculous ...im not allowed to walk my dog or go to a supermarket but i can go to a post office to return a test

Completely pointless


Pugsy which supplier did you use and do you by chance have a link

[bobandjanie]

We have walked out a few vets they take the pee, still calm down and think of other things.

This is a sun room, not a sun roof. Bob.

What the above really says is create a password thats going to be really really difficult to remember so you can raise your blood pressure when you have to enter it at a very stressful time.

Just one more to go.............. the negative test you now need to get though the Dartford tunnel.

I now use a number that I'll never forget... plus the first few letters of the website...
[not quite that, but demonstrates the theory] so I can always work out the password for any site, and each site has a unique password.

Try:
Flt2HowMuch?

I would have suggested number 1 but Lenny already has that one.

 

[Phill D]

What's a password manager?

It's a program that creates, rember and stores all your passwords and you only need rember 1 to access them all.
Try lastpass it's free for a set of similar devices choose, Mobiles, or pc/ laptops.
Been using it for years and it's good.

I heard he retired and drove off into the sunset in his Ketterer Continental
