Assuming they speak English, we prefer to try and speak the language of the country we are in, it's more polite.Just ask in english they are unlikely to have a problem

No help, but the first time I saw a pet passport I wondered why, unlike a passport for humans, it wasn't written in both English and French?

je vousdrais prendre un rendezvous avec un veterinere.
I'd like to make an Appointment with a vet
I'm sorry, but their reply would be totally incomprehensive to me as they give a list of appointment times and dates.
We found it's much better face to face where the use of pencil and paper and the usual hand signals and shrugging gets a better response and result.
Everyone to their own but we prefer the personal approach which works better for us.
I think the question is what do you ask after asking for the appointment. The vet will want to know what you want.Yes, I see, but the original post was asking for the French

French is no longer the lingua Franca.No help, but the first time I saw a pet passport I wondered why, unlike a passport for humans, it wasn't written in both English and French?
Typical request - they'll know exactly what you are asking for:
"Hello, I would like to make an appointment for a veterinary control of my dog before I return to England. I have a reservation for the ferry at 1600hrs on Monday 5th June"
Translated: Bonjour, Je voudrais faire un rendez-vous pour un contrôle vétérinaire de mon chien avant que je retourne en Angleterre. J'ai une réservation pour le ferry à 16h00 le lundi 5 juin
By the time you've said that, they'll realise that rather than let you mangle the language any further, it's easier to reply in English....
If you let them know the scheduled time of your ferry, they'll fit the appointment in within the time-scale permitted
HTH....

Haha, I cannot tell a lie - largely made up myself but confirmed (and slightly changed from) Google Translate - which provides the accents! I have a house in France but sadly my language skills are woefully short of where they should be. I manage most of the time though
