At
Eurotunnel Le Shuttle we love making it even easier for you to take your pets
on holiday, and even when you can't take them with you, there are still plenty of ways to have a
pet-centric trip. If you’re planning on travelling to France and Europe this
autumn, we’ve chosen some of the best events celebrating pets and animals for
you to attend. Read on for more information on where to go and start planning
today.
Animo & Nature
Salon – Avignon, France
One
of France’s biggest animal events, the Animo
& Nature Salon is an amazing place for animal lovers to attend. Taking
place in Avignon, a beautiful city in south-eastern France, the event will play
host to 3,000 dogs and 350 cats, as well as birds, poultry, reptiles, rabbits,
farm animals, turtles… and more! If you’d like your pet to take part in the
animal fair, you can contact the organisers on the event website. You’re not
allowed to bring your pet unless it’s registered for the event, but there are
so many different species to see that with or without your pet, this fair can’t
be missed.

Amions, France
A
commune in the Loire department, Amions has a brilliant cat show, Exposition féline d'Amions.
Organised by the Cat Club Lyon Dauphiné Savoie,
this contest is recognised by the Federation for the management of the Official
Feline Origins Studbook (LOOF) and can be
found in the centre of Amions. You can easily register your cat online, and the
deadline is 29th August. It’s a fascinating show covering numerous
categories of feline, with about 200 cats taking part. This part of France is
stunning, so it’s the ideal place to enjoy the gorgeous autumnal weather in the
Loire countryside, before heading home.

Germany
In
northern Germany, the city of Rostock holds a brilliant international dog show,
RasseHunde,
each year. In 2016, the show will see its 13th year, and it welcomes
all dog owners and their dogs to attend. You can find fantastic shopping
opportunities for all of your doggy toy and treat needs, plus thousands of
different breeds of dog to see. There are professionals on hand to give you
advice on how to care for and train your dog, as well as free health checks for
your pooch. There will also be fun events to watch, all judged by professionals
in the field. If you’re bringing your dog, you’ll need a vaccination card for
it to be allowed into the event. Puppies under three months aren’t allowed.
RasseHunde will take
place on 1st and 2nd October, 2016.
