Well put like that I thought.... sober, so I can have a look about & check if I was in any danger.

Hope this helps,

Don't forget when they get here, you need to nip to a pharmacy & pick up their Heart Worm medication, given once a month, you will need to know their weight in kilos for the dosage per month (Mozzies carry the parasite) or you can go to a vet & get them a jab for 12 months.

The Pharmacy will also carry flea & worm treatments, eye drops, ear drops, you would normally need a vet to give in the UK. buy it over the counter here
Thanks for that. We have talked to a specialist and she said "rescue remedy" or there's some natural root you can give. They are not sedatives but they relax the dog a bit. We should give it to them for a couple of days before we leave. Again they are not drugs and don't sedate the dog. Yes every bit of advice says don't sedate.

Again we are in Ireland and the bloods we had to get done had to be sent to England. So it was way more expensive for me. It cost us € 350 per dog. The chipping and jabs was under 100 a dog(euro).
