These may help
Richard Green PSV mobile number 07920007223
Tony Hurndall PSV (Richard Green's boss) 07720 553605

Don't ask me why I have these numbers as I think you know the answer.

That worked ? I sent him a text this morning and stated I was sending a copy to Tony hurndall also. Got a reply within an hour. So he's going to confirm on Monday but new rubber being fitted Wednesday in high Wycombe.

I thought there wasn't an issue with immigrants anymore but couple of young black guys wandering around the motorhomes here

There have been some issues reported recently unfortunately.

Ok so does anyone know any vets around Calais or between France and Belgium? I'm thinking if I've to stay I may as well visit some places I've not been.
But I need a vet by tomorrow or Tuesday so I can return on 28th

Couldn't be stuck in a better place.

Nooooooooooooooo!!!! I feel your pain. What a bummer!

I suppose that's because she has a Spanish passport,I don't know about the rest of Spain but here in Andalusia the dogs have to have a rabies jag every year- in the UK it's every three years. So keep an eye on Milo's passport too.
If you are returning after the B thing there will probably be the titre blood test to observe too, from what I read on here that is pretty long winded (several months) so you will need to plan ahead Tam.
Hope you enjoy your bit of extra time on this side of the water.
I received a text from a chum living outside Beauly a few days ago, it was minus 5°c there! Brrr! keep smiling.

Google European Vets for Pet Passports for a map of vets.

Make sure you check the date required for the next jab. As Val said in some European countries it is yearly not every 3years.

I know there’s one in St. Omar with an Aire opposite but Aire suffers from very noisy trains that shake the ground!

 

[Trixie]

Tam that is a bit inconvenient since you’ve arranged to have your windscreen sorted.

You will probably have to have both dogs wormed again and their passports signed. Don’t get caught out with the time on the passports and the time of your travel.

Yep I just realised that and I'm a bit annoyed about that , surely a back to UK consultation means the vet is supposed to check the passport and make sure everything is in order . So that's €46 wasted on worming.

That and the fact my van has issues with charging and batteries ( batteries reading 0 again this morning )

It's really inconvenient and costly

[Langtoftlad]

Suppose you'll have to phone the windscreen place too, cancel the appointment ...
Head to Belgium... or even Holland? Germany? You've got a few days!

 

[Lenny HB]

Have a look at a couple of my trips.

This one was August this year.

Lenny's Short Trip to Germany

I just though I would bore you all with another one of my trips. Crossed the channel yesterday evening parked up at Citie Europe at the mo. Decided to pay another visit to Caravan Salon this year, would break my heart & wallet to pay for a crossing for few days. So we are having 2½ weeks (all...

And this one spent a couple of weeks in Germany on the way to Croatia.

Lenny's 2016 Trek South

This is the first decent internet connection we had had since we started our trek 2 weeks ago, Fon connections fairly rare in Germany, using a paying hot spot at the moment. So now I can bore you with our trek so far. This years trek started off with first night stop at Plage de Bray-Dunes as...

Aye which was embarrassing after me demanding they fix it this week

But cancelled and said I'd contact them before I crossed end of the month

 

[Trixie]

You could go to Germany and visit the Hymer service centre and get the battery charging fault sorted.

 

[Drum Major]

You will enjoy Germany just came back from there really enjoyed it ?

Were you turned away from the boat due to the rabies dates in Jade's passport Tam? If so, I too would be well p**d off.
The vet's stamp and signature is supposed to verify that the dog is fit to travel.
If the animal's rabies jags are not up to date, then it is not fit to travel.
I would name and shame that vet, I believe your money was taken under false pretences.

 

[Val 3 dogs]

Thinking further- thank goodness it was spotted on the French side, otherwise poor Jade might have been condemned to six months quarantine with all the misery and expense that would involve.

Yes pet passport check at tunnel 45 minutes before I was due to cross ?

The vet at mailleraye charges for a "return to UK consultation " and yes he's signed it saying dog fit to travel but rabies expired in April....

Ok so I'm also at fault as I didn't know it was only 1 year and I hadn't really looked at passport ...you don't really do you

I wrongly assumed the vet had actually checked it before he stamped it but he didn't

So €46 wasted and 166km away so not worth driving back there as I'd rather go east for a few weeks ...Might aswell make most of it.

Hi Tam, Im concerned as I recommended that vet to you I think, so can we clarify please?
Did the vet tell you,verbally or in writing,that the rabies ran out in April?

The vet didn't tell me anything that's the problem .
The person checking passport pointed it out when I went to book in
The Spanish
rabies only lasts 12 months so expired on 02/04/19

The UK one lasts 3 years apparently

But the vet obviously didn't check the passport before he stamped and signed it as safe to travel

 

[Northernraider]

So I'm on a wee aire that irnbru found for me in grenay with all free services including electric and Wi-Fi so I can charge batteries and download all my phone updates etc which it's been needing for months

So a silver lining from a crap day at least ,not feeling well either stomach isn't right and I've a temperature...achy legs etc I hope I'm not getting the cold
I've gogled and about 5 vets in lille so I'll phone them tomorrow and see if I can get appointment

 

[shawn&emma]

Don't think this vet is to far from you. All went as it should for us when we had Margo checked/wormed etc before returning to UK in September. Vet didn't speak any English but the friendly receptionist spoke well and came in and translated for us. We rang at 9am on the Monday morning and had appointment 2 hours later,
