Eurotunnel Le Shuttle’s Top Tips for Travelling with your Pet:
- Ensure your pet’s vaccinations are up-to-date
- Pack a light meal and snacks for your pet.
- Plan to make plenty of stops along the way.
- Pack additional items like spare collars, leads, beds, as well as toilet bags and plenty of water.
- Be aware there are more biting insects abroad than we have in the UK. Ask your vet how you can take preventative steps for your pet.
- Print out instructions for the vet in the language of the country you are returning from.
- Once in the EU, consider getting an EU pet passport from the vet to minimise future paperwork.
