We need to return home to the UK from France in a hurry , so I need contact info for an English speaking Vet to arrange dog worming and vet passport filled out.
We are leaving the Spanish border now and heading to Cherbourg to catch the ferry on Sunday afternoon , so we need to phone ahead to a vet to arrange an appointment , somewhere on our journey. As it seems just turning up at the vets is not possible and always an appointment needed.
Thanks

Not long enough!
Most vets speak good english.
Get Google maps open on area.
Type vet in search.
That may help.

Find one, turn up and wait if needed. Use Google translate if you need to. Vermifuge Le Chien por passeport sil vous plait will probably be all the French you need.

You do realise if you return Sunday you will have to quarantine anyway? Just checking in case that’s why you were in a rush.

We have always found french vets very helpful, especially if you explain your predicament, it helps to try even a bit of 'Franglais' may get you an instant appointment.
If on your way north you go near Chateau-Gontier the vet opposite Carrefour in town centre speaks good English. Large Aire by river to park about 200m away

Quarantine is from 4am sat morning.
Worming must be done 24 hours before arrival into UK.
So I assume you'll catch the covid quarantine?
