Help please with pets travelling Portsmouth/St Malo Ferry (1 Viewer)

[lawry]

We normally use the tunnel but to cut out some of the driving we are now going from pompey to St Malo
Bless her but Angie is worried about what to do when leaving dogs in the MH
We tried to get a pet cabin but all booked
Is the MH supposed to be locked ?
How often can you visit if at all?
Is there somewhere to walk them at last minute and immediately on arrival?
Our dogs are so laid back I know nothing will bother them but........
Thanks in advance
Lawry

Can't comment on that route but done Plymouth to Roscoff a few times with our pooch. MH is locked with dog inside and access not permitted during the voyage. We've done overnight and the shorter day crossings of five hours. Charlie just sleeps through it as far as we know as we wake him when we unlock the van.

Our other vessels do not have kennels and all animals remain in your vehicle. Visits to exercise your pet and allow them a comfort break are made by arrangement with staff at the Information Desk onboard. Visits to the garage on our high speed services are not permitted unless there are exceptional circumstances.

When travelling on Bretagne to St Malo it is not compulsory to use the kennels, your dog/dogs may stay in your vehicle.

just a comment we only ever took our dog on the ferry once never again he was sick and made a total mess in the van being locked in the van. dont know if anyone else has had a bad time it took us hours to clean van would always stick to the tunnel even if it does mean more driving
