Moving dog from Thailand to France

Question
Hi, I have a dog that has the EU pet passport, we took him from England to Thailand with us and now it is time to go back.  I have kept all his vaccinations up to date, he has tick, worm and heartworm treatment.  We want to relocate to France to avoid quarrantine.  We plan to stay there for 6 months or permanently.  What are the requirements for going to France and what timescale to get things ready are we talking about?  Thank you

Answer
Dear Suzie
There is a link to both DEFRA and French authorities on my p.4 of
my website.   Contact both for up to date requirements.  Also contact
French embassy or consulate there in Thailand
I am sure you will need to have blood work done with a minimum wait of
3 mos before travel to France.  Best I can tell you is to check it out
directly
