Just wondered if anyone knows how prevalent Heartworm is in this area. We have a Rhodesian Ridgeback who has not been treated as I didn't realise it was a problem here. Also, seems that you can only get the medication from a vet. We are returning to the UK for a short trip in mid October. Can I afford to wait until I get back to my UK vet?

I'm writing an article at the moment on what prompts horsey folk to move to France and am keen to hear why you chose to move to France in particular, or why you are dreaming about moving to France. I suspect people with horses might have a different take on things than those that buy a more traditional home over here.

Hi, I have some french neighbours who are desperately looking for homes for some ex hunting dogs. They were the dogs of an elderly relative who can no longer care for them & they spend all of their time cooped-up in a kennel now. I will have more details soon & maybe some photos. As these dogs have not been house-trained they will ideally need to live outdoors & to be with people who have experience with dogs. Anyone interested, please PM me for more information. We are dept 66 near Ceret & Perpignan.
