Worming Tablets

[LiquidLunch]

When travelling abroad with your dog do you take your own worming tablets with you or do you use the ones the Vet abroad gives??

 

[Oscar]

We take our own drontal+. The dosage is half a tablet per 5kg dog bodyweight

 

[Cal54]

I take my own purely because my dog is on a VIP plan at our vets and the cost of which includes the tablets.

 

[FIDGET]

We take our own , vet supplied , chewable , dog loves them , otherwise she won't eat or swallow them

 

[The Coops]

Take our own, mind you she does work for a Vet!

Take our own Drontal bought online.

I was under the impression that you had to get a vet to prescribe a worming tablet and also sign the pets passport no later than 5 days before returning back to the UK.
Do the above comments mean I have been paying a French vet when there is no requirement ?

You still need to get the vet to administer the tablet and stamp your passport. But i take my own tablets with me.

We buy our own on-line as it usually works out a lot cheaper than getting them from our own UK vet or from a foreign vet.

Shop around though as the tablets tend to be roughly the same cost but the postage can vary a lot.

Just make sure they are the ones for tapeworm. I use drontal.

The French vet charges less than our vet so taking our own tablets wouldn't make sense.

Get them on-line, much cheaper.

Within what time frame must you take the dog to the vets prior to re entry to the UK , and apart from the Vet giving the dog a worming tablet , does the vet have to fill out the pet passport or issue you a letter ?
