Dog quarantine
Bonjuor tout le monde! Sorry, I don't mean to hijack your forum, but I have a very important question regarding quarantine in France. Will be taking our two dogs over there sometime next year so would like to make sure if there is one, and if so for how long? Any English website I can visit to check and print the necessary paperworks? I'm getting different answers from different people (not French) so I thought it's best to ask the real ones. Merci beaucoup!
Best is to contact the French consulate in HK:

Tel: Telephone: (+852) 3196 6100
The website is in english :)
Voila.

and I also found this good website:

Dogs must be vaccinated against rabies at least 30 days before entering France and the rabies shot must have been given in the last 12 months. A valid rabies vaccination certificate needs to accompany the animal. Also required is a Certificate of Health from a veterinarian within 5 days of any travel date (traveling both to and from France). This means that French residents returning to the France might need to get a Certificate of Health from an international vet if you stay in the foreign country for more than 5 days.
Regulations vary from country to country and are subject to change. For exact details on regulations for bringing pets you should contact your French embassy.
