I am in the Albere region at the Spanish border and we are starting to find some ticks on the dogs. They have been wearing these special "anti-ticks" around the neck but still... Is there anything I missed out? Do you have a secret recipe to avoid it? I think they can even jump on us; scary!

Hi anyone out there got a pony?  I am looking for a pony for my daughter she is 8 years old. If anyone knows of any to go to a loving home please contact me. sue

Hi .. does anyone know of a good cattery .. can be anywhere in the region as am happy to travel to ensure my 2 cats are well looked after while I'm away for a week in April. thanks! Amanda Amanda

Hello, does anyone know of a reliable cattery in This area? Available for short stays for our little black cat? Thanks

Due to my moving I cannot take my cat , she is very affectionate , neuterd and must go to a home with no other cats . She is used to a garden , a little nervous but would get used to children . I am near Perpignan .

I am hoping to take my dog to UK in March for 3 weeks. She has a blood test and rabies vaccination - we travelled to Spain last year - but her microchip was only inserted in Jan. I wondered if anyone had any experience of the border controls & how rigorously they check the paperwork ? I understand you are meant to get the microchip first, then the vaccination & blood test.........then wait 6 months. So we have all the right papers in the wrong order. I also understand if there is a minor discrepancy they can put your dog into quarantine for 6 months, a very scary thought. Oh and an expensive one. Many thanks Emily

Does anyone know of any reputable dog kennels for short term stay in the Prades area? Biker Girl

Hi, I have a very lovely 130cm Fjord pony for sale called Pom-Pom. She is very gentle, a little nervous but would make an ideal second pony. I bought her for my daughter as a first pony but after 2 months have made the decision that she needs smaller 'first' pony to help her confidence. Does anyone have a child that needs a second pony or indeed has a first pony for sale. or wants to exchange. Thanks Lesa

In the Lnaguedoc, anywhere?? Any show grounds at all, soecifically set up for this kind of thing? does anyone know

Has anyone relocated their pet - in my case a cat - to France by air? If so who did you use and was it successful? I also need a recommendation of a cattery for the first month but nearer Toulouse/Pau area. Really look forwward to some advice. Many thanks. Wend

She is two years old, very pretty with a character to match. A beautiful, affectionate, family dog whom we can no longer keep. Unfortunately, we both work full time and cannot give her the attention she needs so have reached this difficult decision. If interested, pls call or email for photos.

Hi all.  I'm doing a bit of investigating work - we actually live in Normandy, but we have been advised that theres a large horse auction in "Maurs" which is in department 15 (Cantal) on the 19th October 2006 - approx. 1800/1900 horses are up for auction, and as far as I understand they are "meat price"... Does anyone know ANY information about this auction that they could send to me?  I'm sorry if Department 15 is no-where near you - I'm just trying to see if someone knows anything about it as I'm finding it difficult finding information on the t'internet! Many thanks and hopefully look forward to hearing from someone soon! (Normandy) Ginge

Our poor dog is really suffering now - i took him out for walk late last night to avoid the heat and he has come back with a rather large tick - any one know how we can remove it causing him minimum discomfort?

I need to buy a collar for our neighbours dog (don't ask!) but can't seem to find a make that is for tique and puces. Can anyone recommend something.
