The days of long quarantine are over. These days, you’re free to take dogs, cats and ferrets to the Continent as long as a few basic requirements are fulfilled – so now the whole family can enjoy travelling with SeaFrance.
You’ll need to get your faithful friend microchipped and it will need a pet passport with the chip number and dates of vaccinations. You will need to comply with these regulations before your pet can travel with SeaFrance.
Please note that a maximum of 5 pets are permitted to travel per vehicle.
At check-in, your animal will need:
- To have a microchip (inserted before its anti-rabies vaccination)
- To have been vaccinated against rabies
- Must be blood tested atleast 6 months prior to departing
- An up-to-date pet passport
Please note, these rules vary depending on the type of pet and destination country, so please check the DEFRA site for the latest details.
Some of these requirements will need to be carried out well in advance of your travel, so please plan ahead.
Once aboard, your pet will stay in your car while you travel on the passenger decks. However guide dogs and assistance dogs are allowed to travel in the passenger areas.
