Re: doggie advice please

Hi Ray, the time for the treatments have now changed and it needs to be more than 24 hours and less than 5 days prior to travelling (not the previous 24 - 48 hours). It makes it a bit easier to plan...

Re: doggie advice please

And now the tapeworm treatment has to be done at least 24 hours before crossing the channel (above it or below it) but no more than 5 days before crossing. It used to be between 24 and 48 hours, but...

Re: doggie advice please

Mags Eddie, we have driven regularly with our rescue Border Collie and have used both Eurotunnel and the ferry. Prefer the tunnel as you stay in the car with our dog which is better for her. Also the...

Re: Vet nurse job!

Re: Exterior tiles

We have some areas where we have used outdoor, non-slip tiles which were laid about 7 years ago - they have been fine and have weathered the very cold weather very well (can I say it that way??). We...
