As she as a kennel thingy on the boat

The official line for the EU is



From 01/01/2012 the requirement is that pets travelling between Ireland and the UK should be microchipped and accompanied by a pet passport, while for entry into the UK a vaccination against rabies is also required. As both Ireland and the UK have no indigenous rabies for many decades, compliance checks on pets travelling between the two countries will not be applied. Pet owners travelling with their pets should therefore not experience any change on the ground from the 01/01/2012.



There is an agreement between Ireland and the UK that no documents (Pet Passports Rabies vaccinations etc.,) are required to enter Ireland from the UK and vice-versa. Enjoy your holiday.



Regards,

Michael.

Thanks Ken

Hi Polly

With SL short sea crossings (ie not France) you can leave them in the car...  I'm sure Irish Ferries would be the same but they all do have kennels, which is sometimes a safer option for those which don't know how they're pooches will react.  On the Stena Europe (ex Fishguard) they have 'Pooch Corner' where there's a live link so you can see your dogs in the kennels during the crossing.  As you cannot go back to the car deck during the crossing.
