Travelling with Pets
Taking your Pets abroad
If you love your holidays but always feel sad at the prospect of leaving behind your four-legged friend, then Brittany Ferries have the answer. With the PETS Travel Scheme, we make it easy for you to take your dog or cat on holiday. All you need to be on your way together is a valid Pet Passport which is available from any registered vet.
From just €99 return your dog can travel on to France. They are obliged to stay in one of our dedicated kennels available on board. Your cat can also travel under the Pet Passport scheme, staying in the comfort of your own car.
