Pet Travel Scheme (PETS), has made is easy for your pets to join your holiday without having to spend time at quarantine!. Eurotunnel must be informed at Channel Tunnel Booking time about the pets travelling with you. Unlike other forms of transport, you can keep your pet with you with you throughout the entire journey. Many hotels welcome pets, but please check at booking !.

Some people are absolutely bonkers for like 5 seconds without their pets! Thank goodness that this has been taken into consideration. Pets can be like children to people, you know? But, as I have personally traveled with my poodle before I know, be sure to have all the proper documentation if you want to board!!
just a question, do you have to wait 6mths from date of passport / blood test before dogs can travel?
