Taking dogs abroad

It was a vet in Chalons-en-Champagne who gave us the option of the injection.  Is was a little more expensive but couldn't pass it up.  I must look up his name etc., so I can book her in for this coming summer.

Your vet here might supply the injection kit to be sure?  

The new worming tablets are meaty chews and my fussy dog loves them, but what ever method you decided on take a supply with you

Thanks everyone.  Yes I have my meaty chewy worm tablets  ready and have bought Advantix to prevent the fleas, ticks, sandflies etc.

Thanks for your replies.  Are sand flies a problem throughout the year, or only at certain times?  We are going to Spain in April, thinking of heading down to Murcia - will they be a problem.  Drontal makes one of my dogs sick, so would like to try an alternative (hopefully one that is freely available on line).  I know that there is Milbemax but it's prescription only.  

...In Spain and some parts of France (the Cevennes and the Camargue in particular)  sandflies are a problem.   Here in France and when we go to Spain we always use a Scalibor collar on our dogs and also treat with Advantix.   Scalibor collars can be bought for about £15 on Amazon or slightly more from your vet.  These are recommended for Mediterranean climates from April till November but we use one all year just to be on the safe side.  They each last for about 4 months.  As has been mentioned, there is an option of a worming injection but we find it is more expensive and also seems to sting when administered as our dog always yelps when it is given even though he doesn't when given his booster injections.  Our vet here in France always gives Milbemax wormer rather than Drontal.
