Has anyone travelled with more than one dog in a pet-friendly cabin?
I've booked a pet-friendly cabin to Santander in Feb. At present, we just have the one dog, but I've heard about a puppy which was to be put down today in a mass slaughtering session in a pound in Cadiz. Luckily, the puppy and it's 2 litter mates were rescued, at the last minute, and we're now considering giving one of them a home.
The BF web site says that the cabins are intended for one dog, and if wishing to travel with more than one, to contact BF. Has anyone done this, and if so, what was the result?
I don't want to put either dog in the on-board kennels. It would be too stressful for our 11-year-old dog, who only has 3 legs, and I certainly don't want to put a rescue puppy through the experience. We've used the kennels before, when our dog was younger, and that was OK, but things are different now.
When we were on the ferry last winter, we saw some people exercising 4 dogs in the area designated to the pet-friendly cabins. If we couldn't take them both in the cabin, I think the only option would be to change to the Caen crossing, as we don't want to drive all the way to Spain from Calais, nor do we want to make the horrendous journey from home to Folkestone/Dover. Portsmouth is so much easier for us.
I would be grateful if someone could share their experiences with me, before I phone BF.
Thanks
Chris
