I thought about bringing my little cocker poodle to Paris along with several cans of his favorite food. When that runs out what will Precious eat if he doesn't care for nouriture pour les chiens? Anyone have canine stories abroad to share?

Pets are better than children because they love you unconditionally. Children, especially teens, just roll their eyes and let you know how uncool and stupid you are! Leave the kids at home and take the dog to Europe.

What a lucky dog, to have a cool mom like you to take him to Paris!!
There is so much good food in Paris, and the French love their dogs. You can take Precious to a restaurant and buy his dinner. If he can't eat it all, take home a doggy bag. ((&

Sure Parisienne Dogs are good gourmets too, so I suppose their food has to be "first quality" 
Anyway,you do not waste all his cans in the first days, just mix them with french foods (dry ones, I mean) and make them last a bit more

Intrepid, even is this is a "troll", the subject of dogs is always amusing. I would love to take my dogs to Paris! Since they are quite large, and sometimes hard to handle, it's not possible. But I enjoy hearing about other people doing it.

Well, if anyone is actually planning to do this seriously, the easiest thing is to start mixing Royal Canin brand dog food into ther dog's regular diet. Royal Canin is one of the most popular brands of (premium) dog food in France (and elsewhere in Europe) and is available in the U.S. Eventually switch the dog to a complete Royal Canin diet and voila, there's no adjustment to worry about (you can also get Science Diet in Paris, but it's harder to find).

Here is a real story. One of the San Francisco visitors brought a dog. Her dog was so spoiled - she (human momma) complained there is no park with grass close to her place, and her doggie wouldn't "go" on asphalt.
Sour Anne, are you bringing a potty too, or maybe a litter box?

Foie Gras was the favourite food of my dog !!! He absolutely got mad about it Needless to say, I gave them only as a "prize" or with medicines because it was too greasy for him (he had a stomach problem).
He died 4 years ago, I miss him so much !!

SouerAnneLafleur - You are a troll because yesterday you wrote about your little Chiachuchai (spelling is wrong) you were bringing to Paris because on a previous trip you spent $55 a day and your dog wasn't taken care of.
Fodors has erased it from the boards, but I distinctly remember your post.
