English-speaking veterinarian in Paris
It’s not particularly surprising that France’s Ordre des Vétérinaires doesn’t allow sites like AngloInfo to publish lists of English-speaking vets. It’s France, after all, and they do things their own way. The Ordre does have a searchable database of French veterinarians, and that’s useful (click on “Trouvez un vétérinaire”), but its search engine does not give you a way to identify English-speaking vets.
Happily, I have one name to give you. A thread on AngloInfo lead me to someone in Paris who has an English-speaking vet to recommend, and he gets good reviews on Justacoté and Qype. His name is Pierre Métivet, and his office is on rue Monceau, in the Hoche-Friedland neighborhood (8ème).

Growing up in french speaking Canada, all I have to say is – that is so french.
Thank you for the information on Dr. Metivet – he is great and highly recommend anyone to use him if you speak English while in France and needing vet assistance. We used him to do the Health Cert to get our dogs back to the US.
Thanks so much for the feedback, Erika!! The more I hear about Dr. Metivet, the happier I am that I posted info about him.
Thanks for the info! Now what I really need to know is about the $$$ is it pretty much like in the States. 50 bucks to walk in the door….100 for all the tests he NEEDS and then we get to the actual problem …..
Hi, Michelle — I just don’t know how French veterinarian charges compare to American visits. Perhaps someone who takes their dog to Dr. Metivet will read this and post a comment with that info — fingers crossed!
Do you have his email address?
This probably no longer helps Michelle, but hopefully for others…
I don’t really remember what prices were in the US (and I lived in costly LA), however I believe they’re cheaper in France! And many will avoid doing tests that are costly if they think they know what the problem is (plus/down-sides to that approach). A full check-up with all vaccinations, and talking/advising on other issues, just cost me 65 euro (today). I went to Dr Métivet upon a recommendation (I’ve seen 3 other vets before him over the past 3+ years) and I really liked that he took his time with me and my baby; I will be going back to him again.
Thanks so much, Rachel!
Debbie, I don’t — and I can’t find it on Google either.
