Question
Hello I am traveling to germany and making a stop in France for 1 hour 10 minutes then headed to Berlin Germany with my 2 dogs flying with me in Cabin.  I have all the necessary paper work to take to the USDA office next week when I get the health certificate from my vet since itis only good for 10 days I will get it on Tuesday.  USDA office on Wednesady.  My question is this what do I need for France is there another requirment for France?  I will not be leaving the terminal just waiting to board on the next flight. I have the Micro chip for both dogs rabies certificate and all paper work from the vet. so do I need another rabies shot for both again after I get the health certiciate?  and what is needed for France.  I have the EU998forms as well and they will be signed by the vet and USDA office.  What else is needed?

Answer
Seems to me you have everything very well under control.  Looks like you really did your homework!
Knowing that France can be extra difficult at times, I would only suggest you also have the
English-French version of the EU 998 as well as the German version.  I am sure you won't need it
BUT?????  And, just in case there was any last minute delay in France that would cause you to
have to clear customs and leave the terminal...... Best to be safe.
Have a nice trip
