WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FRENCH REQUIREMENT FOR TATTOOS?
Hitherto, French law has demanded that all French resident cats and dogs should be tattooed, though this has not been rigorously applied! Notwithstanding the UK requirements for the PET Travel Scheme, this meant that pets had to be tattooed first, then vaccinated, then blood tested and THEN microchipped. UK DEFRA therefore had to introduce an amendment to the legislation to permit entry to UK of pet cats and dogs treated in accordance with this French protocol. However the French authorities have recently approved the microchip as an alternative means of identification and now all French vets have access to the chips and the official French UK PETS Travel certificate (“Programme de voyage des animaux de compagnie” : introduction de chat ou de chien de compagnie au Royaume-Uni). It is therefore no longer necessary to have pets tattooed in France.
