Hi all

I am looking into bringing my 2 dogs on holiday to France on the ferry. I find all the regulations very confusing . ok so my dogs have their vaccinations kennel cough and all except rabbies

would I need to have this done and do I have to leave 6 months before we could travel ?

also comparing irish ferries and Britanny ferries and it looks like Britanny Ferries would be more dog friendly and as far I understand there is a little "dog park" on board so the dogs are not always in their kennels

if anyone has any information on this and would like to share their expereince it would be very much appreciated

Thanks

the regulations have changed since Jan 1st, you now just need the rabies shot 21 days before reentry into Ireland.
