Ferries to France taking your dog. (1 Viewer)

Hi, we do Portsmouth to Caen with our two dogs. We get the morning ferry as our dogs are lazy daisies in a morning so once they have had a good walk they are happy to sleep the crossing away lol.
We leave food and water out and in warm weather we open the roof light for air.

You need to get the rabies vaccination and pet passport sorted out well in advance. The dog can't travel until 21 days after the rabies injection. If it's a puppy the vaccination can't be given until it's at least 12 weeks old.

The rabies vaccination should be a single injection that lasts 3 years. There shouldn't be multiple injections or annual boosters.

There is absolutely no need for a blood test unless you are travelling outside of the EU/EEA

The pet passport and rabies vaccination combined should cost in the region of £50.

If the dog isn't microchipped this will need doing as well.

I was under the impression that you could take a dog out of Britain regardless the time limit a plies to returning

Yes you're correct - there is nothing to stop you taking a pet out of UK.

All the regulations are for importing - and not just UK.......... Scandinavia has similar controls to UK.
