You’ll need an EU Pet Passport if you want to take your dog, cat or
ferret with you, and have a microchip fitted to them that meets an ISO
specification. For full details of how to qualify your animal for the
PETS Travel Scheme, please
click here for the DEFRA web site. Alternatively, you can call the
PETS helpline on 0870 241 1710.
Please note, cats and dogs must be vaccinated against rabies at least 6
months before you travel, so make sure you plan well in advance.
EU legislation now allows rabbits and rodents such as guinea pigs and
mice to travel too - and you won’t need a Pet Passport to transport them!
However, if you are taking horses to the Continent, please advise us on 0871
663 2545.
Travelling with your pet on SeaFrance
We will need to make sure your pet’s documentation is valid for re-entry
into the UK, so please check in at least 45 minutes prior to departure on
your return journey. For the safety of your pet and other passengers, all
pets must remain in your vehicle for the duration of the crossing. There is
an animal exercise area at the Port of Dover, located at the end of Lane 139
(D Park).
It only costs £25 take your pet on a return crossing with SeaFrance!
